A down-on-his-luck
actor [sometimes pimp] named Dave meets Tom, a socially inexperienced
ex-priest, at their apartment building. Since it appears that neither
has much of a reason to live, they hatch a perverse plan... to be as
decadent as possible for one week and then flip a coin to see which
commits suicide. They do everything from raping an abducted girl to
robbing a bank to performing a Black Mass inside a Catholic Church.
But in all the mayhem, Tom spots Simone 'the girl of his dreams,' an
unhappy young woman who is tired of being mistreated by her boyfriend
Eric. Tom kills Eric, thus allowing him and Simone to become the immediate
couple. Tom has never been happier. But now, a week has passed and Dave
is pushing for the coin toss.
