He begins to cross the line when he harasses the daughter of his boss and is ousted from his job. This brings him to Christiane (Heather McComb), a 15-year-old prostitute who Ernest befriends and desires to save. This pair of society fringe dwellers search for Christiane's lost sister who was likely murdered by snuff film producers. With shades of the work of writer/director Paul Schrader, this edgy independent film is a shocking and difficult work from first time director Frank von Zerneck. [More]
