She refuses to be drawn into discussions regarding her sex life with callers. Anonymously calling herself Ann, she moves in with one of her biggest fans, a caller named Eve (Warren) who is a former prostitute turned bar owner. Into Eve's life and bar is a slightly unbalanced man named Mickey (Carradine). He is attracted to Eve from the start, but she is reluctant to get to know him as he tells her he is a pathological liar. A young woman named Pearl (Chong) and her husband Zack (Bauchau) fall into the lives of Eve, Mickey, and Ann with suspicions all around of infidelities with the opposite partner.
