1940s film noir vamp. Raised bars, gambling halls and brothels, Velvet learned early that danger and passion walk hand in hand. She drifts through the city’s underbelly: underground clubs, card games,luxury apartments of gangsters and politicians. She seeks desire and warmth in a world that offers none freely. Her worldview: affection is precious, passion is fleeting, and even the doomed deserve beauty. She survives by her sexuality , charm, instinct, and the hearts she steals.
