影片讲述了既是小说家也是明星的京子是时代的宠儿，她蜗居在极富色彩的房子里，经纪人典子对她的行程进行分割。在睡觉的时候也做着永无止境的噩梦。她总是问自己“我是京子吗？我在扮演京子吗？”在虚构与现实的缝隙里，京子过去的秘密遭到了曝光。

Christine (Sandy McLeod), a bright and unassuming young woman, takes a job selling tickets at a porno theater near Times Square. Instead of distancing herself from the dark and erotic nature of this milieu, Christine soon develops an obsession that begins to consume her life. The character’s reaction unexpectedly flips normal gender roles; director Gordon daringly twists feminist ideology by showing a woman who finds self-expression through an interest in pornography. Variety becomes even more provocative when it dramatizes the changes that occur in Christine’s relationships with both Mark (Will Patton), her boyfriend, and Louie, a dangerous-looking patron of the theater.
