Em um quarto de motel, onde Natalie pára para descansar durante o dia, ela se senta imóvel na cama, e experimenta a exuberância de uma completa liberdade e os sentimentos angusteantes de novos começos. Natalie continua com sua viagem e pega um jovem andarilho, Killer (James Caan), um atraente jogador de futebol com danos cerebrais. Mas é através de Killer que se coloca uma questão mais preocupante para Natalie do que a da responsabilidade doméstica. Quão profundamente estamos apegados a encontros casuais?
