All alone in the world, Nomi Malone, making her way to Las Vegas, is determined to make a name as a dancer while putting her unspoken past behind her.

Her talent and connections in combination are only able to get her a job at the Cheetah Club, a strip joint. Her first true friend in Vegas, Molly Abrams, works as the costumer for Goddess, the topless production at the Stardust. It is through Molly that Nomi catches the eye of Goddess' headliner, Cristal Connors. Nomi has a love/hate feeling toward Cristal: she doesn't much like her but wants to become her.

This film to me seemed to be what made Boogie Nights possible. Sure Elizabeth's acting could use a little work, but this was her first film straight from Saved by the Bell. What a change of character, and I think it is pulled off well. The story is intriguing, and I truly enjoy the characters, which I believe are pretty close to the way some people I know truly are. I am a huge fan of this film, and would recommend this great movie to anyone over the age of 17. It is not a kid movie, or a teenage flick, sure it has some hard subject matter, but don't let that stand in the way of a great film.
