It seems that Brian, the murdered husband (David Duchovny), has a childhood friend, Jerry (Benicio Del Toro) that is everything he is not - a drug addict who has fallen to the most degrading level. Brian has stood by him through the years, doing what he can to keep him alive. His widow, Audrey (Halle Berry), invites Jerry to the funeral and then, unaccountably, invites him into her and her children's lives. She gives him a spare room and does her best to help...
