Most of the plot revolves around dancer Erin Grant trying to get legal custody of her daughter from her deadbeat ex-husband, while being pursued by a corrupt politician with criminal connections.

This movie only passes the Bechdel test if Erin's daughter is included in the definition of "woman", in which case several brief conversations fit the bill.
