  Running away from a troubled marriage, Kate Frazier hopes to find anonymity with a new home and a new job in Chicago. Despite friendly flirtation from co-workers and others, the shy and reserved Kate keeps her distance, avoiding questions about her sudden arrival and her recent past.   When Kate meets Frank Logan, the two discover unexpected satisfaction in their mutual, shared silence. Haunted by the troubling choices he has made, Frank finds a kindred spirit in the younger Kate, and for a moment the two seem destined to redeem and remake each other. As the holidays and New Year pass against an urban landscape that seems both breathtakingly beautiful and starkly quiet, Kate and Frank's friendship becomes one of necessity and survival for these two lost spirits. But neither lonely soul can escape the lives they have left behind. As events unfold and the painful truth slowly emerges, Frank is forced to face the man he really is, while Kate struggles to be the stronger woman she needs to be.

Directorial debut from actor Michael Keaton. Kate Frazier (Kelly MacDonald) is a woman on the run from her abusive husband, who accidently disrupts hitman Frank Logan (Michael Keaton) as he prepares to claim his next victim. The pair soon find unexpected solace in each other's company, blissfully unaware of the life that the other has left behind. As the film progresses, Frank's misdemeanours are exposed and Kate is questioned by jaded, alcoholic detective Dave Murcheson (Tom Bastounes) who takes a shine to her and forms the third party in a very unusual triangle between the three characters.
