Plot[]
J.R. (Harvey Keitel) is an aimless young man who lives in New York's Little Italy, spending most of his days hanging out with his friends. One day, riding on the Staten Island Ferry, he meets a young, blonde, middle-class woman (Zina Bethune). They fall in love, but the tug-of-war between J.R.'s familiar lifestyle and his uncertainty about the new possibilities that the Girl represents turns into a full-blown crisis when she reveals that she was raped by an old boyfriend. Riddled with Catholic guilt and toxic masculinity, J.R. struggles mightily with this revelation.
