Plot – Charles is a New York stockbroker who accidentally meets Lulu, who kidnaps and involves him in a mad adventure. Although Charles has a wife and some children and has to go back to work, he's first taken to a motel and "almost" raped by Lulu. He's involved in a robbery and, finally, he's introduced to Lulu's mother as her new husband. Charles thinks he is participating to a kind of game, so when Lulu drags him to a dinner with her former high school classmates, Charles keeps on pretending. At dinner they meet Ray Sinclair, who's Lulu's former husband and a violent thug too that has been left by his wife while he was serving his five years sentence in prison.
