Plot
After being released from a mental hospital, where his stories are perceived as lies, Mickey returns to Los Angeles in search of someone named Eve. Arriving at the bar that bears her name, he is attracted to the new owner, a former call girl also named Eve. She says she bought the bar after the old owner killed herself, "over some guy". The bar is a popular spot for patrons looking for one-night stands, as well as prostitutes looking for potential clients. Despite being also attracted to Mickey, Eve refuses to commit to any one man, confessing to French radio talk show host Dr. Nancy Love that she ruined too many marriages to have one of her own. That night, Eve rebuffs Mickey's advances and sleeps with a bartender, while avoiding Zack, the wealthy married man she is having an affair with.
