Synopsis:
Ann (Andie MacDowell) is a repressed, quiet suburban housewife stuck in a loveless marriage with John (Peter Gallagher), a self-absorbed, deceitful lawyer who is secretly having a passionate affair with Ann's fiery younger sister, Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo). The delicate, fragile balance of their deceitful lives is shattered when John's old college friend, Graham (James Spader), unexpectedly arrives in town. Eccentric, soft-spoken, and hauntingly detached, Graham reveals a peculiar personal quirk: he is physically impotent in the presence of women unless he interviews them on camera, recording their candid confessions about their sexual desires, histories, and secrets on videotape. As Ann is drawn into Graham's enigmatic sphere, his quiet presence acts as a catalyst, unraveling the maze of personal deceptions and forcing each of them to confront their deepest psychological truths.
