Forced to return to her mother's apartment in Marin County and take a job houling portable toilets, Mel finds herself drinking too much and hanging out with her old gang again. Haunted by glimpses of her own harrowing girlhood and of the mysterious circumstances that put her in prison in the first place, she slowly, bravely begins to forge a potential path toward redemption and escape.

Hired to track down the stripper girlfriend of a wealthy acquaintance, Queenie Sells finds herself accused of the woman's murder and is targeted by the actual killer in her investigations at such locations as Coney Island and the Waldorf-Astoria, where she meets a host of colourful characters.
