Plot
A man named Mickey is released from a mental hospital where his stories are perceived as lies. Looking for someone named Eve, he returns to Los Angeles. Mickey eventually arrives at a bar called "Eve". Its new owner is a former call girl also named Eve. According to her, she bought the bar after the old owner killed herself, "over some guy". Eve refuses to commit to any one man, thinking that she ruined too many marriages to have one of her own. That night, Eve rebuffs Mickey's advances and has sex with a bartender, while avoiding Zack, the wealthy married man she is having an affair with.
