A cocaine-addicted homicide detective is brought out of suspension to trail a local prostitute who may become the next victim of The Scalper, a serial killer who preys on the city's hookers. Meanwhile, her burnt-out pimp attempts to get out of the business while finding it harder to protect his girls from both the killer and an abusive rival pimp.

An out of work surgeon creates a powerful prosthetic heart (made of solid gold) which he transplants into the body of a beautiful prostitute he accidentally runs over with his car. The two then find themselves on the run from her former pimp, and a team of gangsters the doctor owes money to.
