On the outside, young Joel gives the impression of being a well-behaved model pupil on the brink of a glittering career. But as soon as his parents go away for the weekend, he throws himself into the wild party life and immediately falls in with a sex worker and her powerful pimp. Before he knows it, his life is out of control - and the family home is a brothel ... In his bold and original satire, Paul Brickman mixes sex and capitalism, the American dream and teenage angst. The result is a key work that makes fun of the Reagan years and turns the mischievous Tom Cruise into a star - at the latest when he plays the cool rock'n'roller without trousers and in white socks.
