Cost of Living

In a world of men, she wanted to be free.
Freedom comes at a price.

Billie (Edie Falco: The Sopranos - Judy Berlin) is a mysterious drifter and scam artist barely one step ahead of her spotted past. Passing through a small Long Island town, Billie hopes to make a quick buck by faking a car accident. Stashing her savings in a hotel room, Billie gets involved with Ben, an easy mark, who gives Billie more than she bargained for. Returning to her room, she discovers her cash has been stolen. Suspecting a reverse-scam, Billie follows Ben in an effort to reclaim her money.

Along the way Billie meets Ted, who sees something special in Billie that draws him to her. When Ted starts asking all the right questions, Billie realizes it is time to disappear. Turning her back on her instincts, she stays longer than she should. This delay proves costly as her past catches up to her.
