Angel is a 1983 film that portrays the life of a high school honor student by day and a high-end prostitute by night. Directed by Robert Vincent O'Neill, this drama unfolds the story of 15-year-old Angel (Donna Wilkes) who loses her mother in a car accident and is left alone with her alcoholic father. Being a talented student, she attends her classes regularly but also has to take care of her father's needs, who tries to make ends meet by selling stolen items. This is where Angel's story takes a turn as her father forces her to help him sell the stolen items and eventually forces her into prostitution.

Angel's life, as a result, becomes a balancing act between school and satisfying her clients. She uses the money earned through prostitution to make ends meet and to prepare for a better future. During the course of the story, Angel encounters different kinds of clients, from men in search of love to the ones who use her services for their perverse pleasures. Despite the challenges she faces, Angel retains her compassion and desire for a better future.

As Angel continues to work as a prostitute, she encounters a fellow 15-year-old runaway, Molly (Rory Calhoun Jr.), who is addicted to drugs. Their friendship strengthens as they support each other through the struggles they face in their lives. Moreover, Angel has a romantic relationship with 29-year-old police officer, Lt. Andrews (Cliff Gorman), who is tasked with cracking down on the prostitution racket in which Angel is involved. Lt. Andrews observes Angel's character and sympathizes with her situation, leading him to take steps to help her out of it.

Angel also confronts her father's manipulative and abusive behavior, which adds to the troubles she already faces. Her father often interferes with her personal life and attempts to force her into making more money through prostitution. Despite all these challenges, Angel remains resilient and determined to make the changes necessary to better her future.

Overall, Angel presents a compelling story of a young girl who faces many hardships in her life but remains steadfast in her ambition to succeed. The movie tackles sensitive subjects such as prostitution and abuse with tact and understanding, making it an intense but inspiring story. The movie highlights the uncharted areas of human behavior and the things people go through to make a living.
