A young woman named Joy (Carol White) lives a life filled with bad choices. At a young age she marries and has a child--with an abusive thief (John Bindon) who quickly ends up in prison. Left alone, she takes up with the guy's mate Dave (Terence Stamp), another thief, who seems to give her some happiness but who also ends up locked up. She then takes up with a series of seedy types who offer nothing but momentary pleasure--if that.
