| Summary |
Johnny, an unemployed philosopher-bum, rapes a woman in an alley, then leaves Manchester and drives a stolen car to London. He stays with former girlfriend Louise. After bedding her loopy flatmate, punkette Sophie, he feels compelled to roam the streets of London once more where he meets an array of individuals. Johnny, beaten up in the street, returns to Louise and Sophie's apartment. There he finds sicko yuppie Jeremy, supposedly their landlord, has raped and made a sex slave of Sophie. The next day Johnny takes some money and leaves. |
