A steamy New York Latino dance club ("where music sizzles and dancers mingle") is the atmospheric setting for this modernist film noir murder mystery. The central characters include, Jimmy Rey, the suave but offbeat observer of events, Rosa, a sultry dancer in a red sequin dress, and her boyfriend José, an intimidating gangster who cannot dance. Tempers flare when Rosa's former flame Guy Valdez arrives on the scene complete with entourage and much macho posing to challenge José to a knife fight. Later, Guy is stabbed to death by an unknown killer. Accompanying the action are the sensuously choreographed routines of the club's dancers
