Young teacher Keaton clashes with her parents so gets her own grungy apartment. She indulges in the NYC club scene at night while teaching deaf children during the day. She experiments with drugs and sex, attracting the attention of coke head Richard Gere. She is also pursued by a more conventional welfare worker but cannot commit to him. Eventually her risky lifestyle catches up with her in a brutal, downbeat ending. Keaton carries the movie as a naive but likable girl in the freewheeling, disco-fueled 70s, one of her most overlooked roles.
