Gordon Walker is an actor, writer, lover, sufferer, a man unable to commit himself to either failure or success. For him life is a matter of inner resources - a matter of getting through the day. Sex helps; alcohol helps; drugs help. But now, abandoned by his wife and feeling as though he might die quite soon, Gordon needs something more. A dream. And the dream he decides on is love - love in the shape of Lu Anne. Following her to Mexico where she is filming a movie he's scripted, it doesn't matter to Gordon that Lu Anne too is fighting for survival, clinging to sanity, and that Gordon may be the one thing she needs to push her over the edge.
