In this underscripted and not wholly convincing drama,
Kevin Bacon plays Jack Casey, an up-and-coming broker who crashes on the stock market one day and cashes in whatever he has left to become a bicycle messenger in San Francisco. Although not exactly a logical alternative, bicycling the hilly streets of S.F. turns out to be dangerous after Casey runs into Gypsy (
Rudy Ramos), the street pusher who has the messengers run drugs for him. A series of characters and events drop in and out of the conflict between Gypsy and Casey, including love interest Terri (
Jami Gertz) and Casey's friend Hector (
Paul Rodriguez). Music dominates throughout the film which includes scenes of breakdancing on bikes.
