A violent, lost and uncontrollable spirit, Beatrice, is seeking a life of normalcy and domestic bliss away from the dangers of her profession, armed robbery.
Known as 'B. Monkey' to her comrades in crime on the streets (for her ability to get into anywhere--she is half-waif, half-warrior. Tired of living on the edge,
she seeks love and peace while trying to kick her addictions to crime. She takes a liking to Alan, an average guy, a school teacher, whom she meets at a
bar. He's the first man in her life who's not a drug addict, a criminal or into other boys. Soon, the two are off to begin a new and crime-free life. Although
happy, Beatrice begins to feel like she is being suffocated by her own goodness. She needs one last high; one last job. And to make matters worse,
the shady mobster boyfriends of B's past, Bruno and Paul, have no intention of releasing her to her new life and continue to tempt her with the thrill of her
past. They aren't going to let her escape so easily from her 'old ways.'.
