The film is about a husband who is in trouble when his wife is attacked. After assaulting his wife, this man uses the services of a community group to help him, but he may fall into another impasse with these people. It seems that he will discover that they want to 'serve' him in return.
There is a strange and sometimes wondrous intensity in Cage's performances in these films; sometimes his madness is enough to elevate a film - like Werner Herzog's The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - to a kind of trashy sublimity.
