New York City 1924: the height of Prohibition. In a police precinct on the lower East Side young typist Rose Baker coolly records the confessions of killers and gangsters. But when a new typist arrives - the captivating Odalie - Rose finds a true partner in crime. Flitting between sparkling speakeasies by night and their work at the precinct by day the girls are drawn further into a dark glamorous world. Soon Rose's fascination with Odalie and her glittering life turns to obsession. But does she know the real Odalie and what will happen if she dares to find out?
