Synopsis
Nicolas Cage makes an affecting directorial debut with the story of a young man, Sonny, who returns home to New Orleans after military service with the hope of starting a new life, but he quickly discovers that his mother, Jewel, has other plans for him. Jewel is a French Quarter madam weighed down by her fading looks and desperation. Sonny is her only hope for survival and she is anxious for him to reprise his roll as her star prostitute despite his resistance. When she notices Sonny's attraction to her fresh new girl, Carol, Jewel takes the opportunity to undermine Sonny's desire to "go square." He learns that the persuasions of a mother, a beautiful girl and easy money in the Big Easy can cloud even the best intentions. - Gold Circle Films
