Joan likes married men. She doesn't know why, since they only bring trouble. After one kills himself infront of her and another married man, she leaves on a journey to find Alice.
After renting a place near Alice, from Lenny, a older man with a sordid past and dementia, she befriends and is obsessed with Alice. But life is never straight with Joan, her past ensures she's always on guard.
