The film follows Jay Jay (George Segal), a former hair dresser who becomes a drug addict. He lives his new life by doing deals for Vivian (Héctor Elizondo) from time to time. Jay thinks his life is about love and peace yet he and his fellow friend and junkie Billy Dynamite (Jay Fletcher} steal a safe behind the back of a cashier. (Maybe a comic scene) His former wife Veronica wants to know why he did this to her. Did what to her? He has no answer.
