Bailed out of jail and holed up in a lowrent motel, amnesiac Eric Ashworth has only the memory of a womans name: Desiree.

But as he begins to lose touch with the present, his distinction between truth and fantasy begins to crumble, creating a world where divisions between love and loss, violence and tenderness, and fact and fiction are less discernible than they ought to be.
