샘은 앞날이 밝은 지방 검사다. 뛰어난 경력과 멋진 외모에 영리한 아내까지 둔 그는 전국 차원의 정치를 위해 의회에 도전하기 직전이다. 하지만 그에게는 약점 아닌 약점이 있는데 그것은 바로 잘생긴 외모 때문에 늘 여자들의 추파를 받는다는 것이다. 금방 들어온 젊은 인턴마저도 그에게 접근할 정도다. 권선징악의 깨끗한 이미지를 가진 샘이지만 사건 조사를 위해 거기에 관련된 고급 창녀와의 대화로 마음이 차츰 흔들리기 시작하고 아내가 집을 비운 사이에 결국 콜걸을 부르게 된다. 한 번 시작된 욕망은 쉽게 꺼지지 않고 샘의 경력과 아내, 그리고 그가 가진 모든 것을 날려버릴 기세로 타오른다.

Desire and addiction form the confluence of bad choices and unintended consequences for Veronica Lambert. Her desperation to see her desires fulfilled is palpable as she acclimatizes to big city life, while assuaged by the good intentions of Mr. New York, an old-time movie hustler who befriends the new arrival to the Hollywood scene. Her interest in true love and naivete in life becomes fodder for her married lover, who ultimately seduces her into a criminally-sociopathic and brutal act. Similar to Crash or Pulp Fiction, each character's progressively egocentric motives juxtapose one another, form a cross-hatch of competing elements to complicate and in the end, clarify the outcome of a long path toward betrayal and loss.
