Joe Horse is on parole with a problem. There are two dead women on the floor of his living room. Alone and desperate, he calls his friend the Mover. Together they devise a plan to get rid of the bodies. When discovered by the police the women appear to be polar opposites. The tall beautiful blond is wearing a sexy low cut black evening dress while the smaller plain brunette is attired in jeans and a sweatshirt. Assigned to the case is the thoroughly corrupt Fishnet Milligan, an opportunistic psychopath detective. The delusional Milligan, who alternates between reality and invented fantasy, views this case as a stepping stone that will catapult him to great heights… a superstar status he will stop at nothing to attain. The father of one of the women is a career mafia assassin. The other is the offspring of a professional couple.
