Detective Jim Henderson is called to a crime scene where a woman has fallen to her death. The woman turns out to be Elizabeth, a local prostitute and heroin user. Henderson suspects that this was a murder rather than an accident, and sets out trying to piece together what really occurred.
Since the film begins with Elizabeth's death, the scenes consist of Henderson and his partner tracking down leads and interviewing people who knew the victim. These scenes are interspersed with a chronological view of Elizabeth's last days so that we find out the details of what truly happened to her as Hendersons investigation processes.
Christopher Plummer is Henderson and does a good job in the role. Karen Black plays Elizabeth and is likable and sympathetic. It's actually more of a police/crime drama than horror, although horror does play into things in the last part of the film.
