Daisy, a shy, intelligent Jewish nonconformist, chafes at the rigid norms and snobbish attitudes that prevail in her elite, predominantly Gentile Manhattan boarding school. She takes refuge at the nearby house of her strong-willed grandmother, whose mentoring helps Daisy face the challenge of being herself--even after the most sought-after boy in school wants Daisy to change for him.
Billy and Jo get their kicks from their special type of window-shopping (driving a car through the window and stealing everything inside). These professional criminals are not in it for the money, but for the fun of it. When Billy gets released from prison, his rival Tommy has taken over the street. A fight for power commences as Billy starts his own gang and hits a shop the day before Tommy had planned to. Tommy makes a move on Billy's girlfriend Jo, who wants Billy to change his lifestyle and move away, instead of fighting Tommy, a fight which will hurt them both. He agrees, but he wants to hit the shopping mall on a final hit--it's never been done before, so it will make him a hero among others.
