The main character goes on a game show in order to raise money for a car to drive his friend to Mexico where he can receive a popular, but later proven ineffective, treatment for the virus.

The streets of Los Angeles are being littered with murdered prostitutes, as a sinister killer tempts desperate women into dangerous traps.
