A group of struggling individuals cross paths at a low-rent motel in the tourist mecca of
Niagara Falls. Among them are a knockout waitress being recruited to star in low budget porn videos; a young couple with a
criminal past struggling to recover their child from social services; a middle-class husband and wife (Wendy
Crewson) in a marriage that is disintegrating in near record time; a woeful, drunken motel manager; and a prostitute
working to support two small children. The needs of these people, their obvious failings and the hapless conditions of their
lives make them so vulnerable that they careen from the disturbing to the hilarious in a breathless instant. In their stories,
tragedy waltzes with unpredictable comedy in an intense dance of life.
