The story

Eli Wurman is an aging, burnt-out Jewish publicist whose best days are behind him, and he wishes to retire from his line of work, but all he knows is how to hustle, cajole, threaten and persuade. The hazy mania of his everyday life is fueled by a steady stream of prescription drugs and alcohol. One night, Eli's last remaining "big client" Cary Launer—an actor considering a campaign for political office—entreats Eli to take care of his latest publicity mess, a dangerous liaison with Jilli Hopper, a hard-shelled, quick-tongued television actress with a soft center and a taste for illegal drugs.
