A leaky roof takes Syd from the apartment she shares with her boyfriend to her upstairs where she meets her neighbor Lucy(Ally Sheedy). Lucy, a once celebrated photographer. lives with her lover Greta (Patricia Clarkson), a former German Fassbinder actress. In Lucy's world heroin rules supreme over any other concern. Immediately, the two women are attracted to each other. Syd learns of Lucy's famous past and begins to encourage Lucy's comeback.
