Frederick Frenger, Jr. (Baldwin), an amoral killer fresh out of prison, arrives in Miami with a dead man's wallet and an impractical, urge to remake his life along more prosaic lines. In the airport he is annoyed by a Hare Krishna, whose finger he breaks out of instinctive viciousness,
shocking the weak-hearted religious zealot to death. When Frenger checks into a hotel, he sends for a hooker. Pepper (Leigh), the naive young woman who answers the summons, harbors a secret wish to be an ordinary housewife. And the two see in each other an opportunity to live out their fantasies
of conventionality. It's not to be.
