Kenny Bowen is an ex-convict fresh out of prison because of a drug conviction; he goes home to live with his invalid mother, a strong-willed ex-nurse who lost her husband when her children were youngsters and ended up in an abusive relationship. He has two sisters. Rachel, the oldest, is hiding an interracial relationship. His baby sister is Susan. Having a prison record, it's hard to go straight. Jerry, an old friend, introduces him to Carol, a high-class madam, who turns him into a prize stud.
