Sherry Conley, a street tough and cynical woman with an unhappy family background, is taken from prison to a hotel, where the DA tries to convince her to testify against a mobster.

At the hotel, several attempts are made on her life, and she falls for Vince, the policemen guarding her.—John Oswalt
