Trailer:

Synopsis: An hysterical young woman barges into a prosperous home in 1934 Kansas City, forcing the woman of the house to take drugs and then kidnapping her. By holding hostage this woman, the wife of the powerful Democratic Party chairman of the machine-run city, she hopes to get back her small-time hood of a husband who has flown the coop and, incredibly stupid, robbed a powerful black gambler. The city-crossed criminal connections are all back dropped by the national election, exposing the dark underside that lurks beneath the social, political fabric of this most mainstream American city.
