Um escritor (Ethan Hawke) viaja para Paris após se envolver em um escândalo. Lá, conhece Margit (Kristin Scott Thomas), uma misteriosa estranha, que vai gerar uma paixão intensa e uma série de eventos inexplicáveis.

Paul Exben is a success story – partner in one of Paris's most exclusive law firms, big salary, big house, glamorous wife and two sons straight out of a Gap catalog. But when he finds out that Sarah, his wife, is cheating on him with Greg Kremer, a local photographer, a rush of blood provokes Paul into a fatal error.

A con artist escapes a deal gone wrong in New York and winds up in the Aussie outback in a strange town whose inhabitants are an oddball collection of misfits.
