Skin Deep
1989 · 1h 37m · Comedy, Drama, Romance · United States of America · Rated R (US)
The comedy that glows in the dark.
Hard-drinking novelist Zach Hutton spirals out of control after his wife and mistress both leave him. Alone and crippled by a bad case of writer's block, Zach slips in and out of casual relationships and one-night stands, while his drinking becomes more and more severe. With the help of a bartender and his therapist, Zach confronts his demons — women and alcohol.
