Fifteen-year-old honor student Molly Stewart attends a private preparatory school in the Los Angeles area in the daytime. At night, she transforms herself into "Angel", a leather mini-skirted, high-heeled street teenage prostitute who works Hollywood Boulevard. Angel has a "street family" consisting of aging film cowboy Kit Carson, street performer Yoyo Charlie, drag performer Mae, fellow prostitutes Crystal and Lana, and her landlady, eccentric painter Solly Mosler.
