Attorney Mitch Martin, portrayed by Luke Wilson, returns unexpectedly from a business trip only to discover that his girlfriend, Heidi (played by Juliette Lewis), is involved in a series of orgies with various partners. Although she insists that it is purely a physical connection, Mitch realizes that the relationship is no longer viable for him.
