肖恩，一个孤独的骑手，同时也是个毒贩子，长久以来都被被一群二流子和荡妇环绕。直到有一天，他遇到了他的真命天女。本该是生活的新起点，没想到却是一次知名旅途。

Sean lives a harsh but successful life as a criminal in Los Angeles's rough suburbs. He has, in spite of a chaotic and violent childhood, created some order in his life. As long as order is maintained, he - along with his partner in crime Peter - can ensure that his criminal life does not fall apart. But like in any Greek tragedy, things are doomed to go wrong when he one day falls in love with the waitress Lilly. Sean thinks he can bring order to her life too, but the all-consuming heroin addiction can not be tamed so easily.
