Josie Tyrell, art model, teen runaway, and denizen of LA's
1980 punk rock scene, finds a chance at real love with art
student Michael Faraday. A Harvard dropout and son of a
renowned pianist, Michael introduces her to his spiritual
quest and a world of sophistication she had never dreamed
existed. But when she receives a call from the Los Angeles
County Coroner, asking her to identify her lover's dead
body, her bright dreams all turn to black.
