of a New York businessman who leaves his wife and job after a meeting with a
fortune-teller. Freed from the responsibilities of his former life Edmond
plunges into a sordid world of pimps, peepshows and prostitutes where he is
mugged and robbed and embarks on a career of violence. It is only when he has
lost everything that Edmond crawls out of the moral abyss and finds hope of
redemption.
