Isabelle (Isabelle Huppert), an ex-nun who believes that God has an as yet unspecified mission set aside for her, keeps herself fed by writing short stories for a pornographic magazine. One day she meets Thomas (Martin Donovan), a confused but insightful amnesiac wandering the streets of New York City. When they set out to discover Thomas' past, Isabelle suspects that it's somehow linked with a desperate young porn actress, Sofia (Elina Lowensohn). Before long, Isabelle, Thomas and Sofia are being pursued by brutal corporate assassins, who desperately want to kill Thomas.
Unable to remember his own unsavory criminal past, Thomas commits himself to saving Sofia and, of course, Isabelle, with whom he is now in love.
Running Time: 105 minutes
