Mary Ann Robinson, a young girl living in The Bronx, New York, with her neurotic, overbearing mohter and kindly but ineffectual stepfather, is raped while walking home one night. Keeping the attack to herself, Mary Ann runs away, seeking to lose herself in Manhattan by renting a seedy flat and taking a job in a dollar store. Overwhelmed by peoples hostility and her own despair, Mary Ann tries to jump off the Manhattan Bridge, only to be stopped by Mike, a garage mechanic who takes her back to his modest basement apartment nearby. At first appreciative of Mikes kindness, Mary Ann becomes terrified when he refuses to let her laeve.
Is Mike really Mary Anns rescuer - or is he another rapist?
