Dogs: The Rise and Fall Of An All Girl Bookie Joint Directed by Eve Annenberg, 1997

Four young women, crammed into a small Manhattan apartment, all with dead end jobs (or no job at all) and overdue rent. They discover cars and self esteem when they set up an illegal bookie joint in their kitchen. Suddenly they can pay bills and dream about the future. But boys, moms, the police, the New York summer heat and other uncontrollable situations get in the way of anything going as planned.
