- Summary:
- A New York magazine reporter on the verge of losing his job, Jonathan Fisher fabricates a story about prostitution that reignites his career and brings unwanted attention to a powerful pimp, Fast Black. The police, believing the story is true, feel they are closer to putting the notorious pimp behind bars. As pressure mounts for Fisher to reveal the identity of the lead in his story, he's unaware that Fast Black has plans of his own for the writer who's jeopardized his business.
