Plot summary

George is fresh out of prison. Because he has not betrayed his clients or his cronies from before, he thinks they owe him something. His ex-wife wants nothing more to do with him and keeps their daughter away from him. He finds accommodation in the garage of his friend Thomas and gets a job as a chauffeur in the company of his former boss Mortwell. Mortwell is a big player in the local red-light scene and gives George the job of driving the high-class call girl Simone from one john to the next. Simone, with her manners trained on fine customers, and the straight-laced, somewhat plain George first have to get along. But slowly George gets to know and appreciate the person behind the role of the high-class prostitute. Simone takes advantage of George's affection to hire him for a job: For a long time Simone has been looking for her missing friend Cathy, who has slipped into even darker corners of prostitution because of her drug addiction. George asks around on the streets and finds out that his boss Mortwell has something to do with Cathy's disappearance. When he finds Cathy, he is finally caught in the mobsters' crosshairs.
