Ann se pasa los días preocupándose por diversos problemas y suele estar aparentemente triste, pues es una mujer introvertida y seria. A pesar de ello, Ann está bastante segura de su matrimonio con John. Aunque ella no lo sabe, tiene una buena razón para estar molesta, ya que John está teniendo un tórrido romance con Cynthia Patrice Bishop (Laura San Giacomo, 'Mujer Bonita'), la hermana más extrovertida y joven de Ann. Cuando Graham Dalton (James Spader, 'Crash'), un antiguo compañero de la universidad de John, llega de visita, la vida de Ann cambiará completamente. Dirigida por el cineasta, guionista, director de fotografía y editor estadounidense Steven Soderbergh (Tráfico), la película estuvo nominada en 1989 a los Oscar en la categoría de Mejor guión original.
