Junko Miyashita, an icon of Japan's 70s erotic films, plays a mysterious hitchhiker picked up by a thuggish and macho construction worker Kenzo, who takes her back to his rundown and cramped apartment. Claiming that she is running away from an abusive husband, she shacks up with him. In an futile attempt to escape the bleak working class surroundings, the pair engage in a grueling and obsessive erotic relationship - at least until her violent ex-boyfriend pays an unexpected visit.
