Claire,
a brilliant student, seeks answers to the meaning of
life in the calm of her biology laboratory. One day,
she meets a mysterious young man, Jack, at the cinema,
and is intrigued by his style, assurance and audacity.
Apart from his artistic activities, Jack has a regular
scam going, ripping off foreign businessmen with his
loyal mate Charlie and two actresses. But his tough
guy exterior conceals a secret passion for old books,
and he dreams of writing a novel one day. Jack falls
hard for Claire's purity and curiosity. An unusual romance
develops between them. But Jack is scared of their growing
intimacy and rejects Claire, withdrawing into his shell.
Abandoned and confused, Claire gradually begins to neglect
her studies and embarks on a spiraling course of self-destruction,
whilst Jack, who tries to ignore her, concentrates on
his criminal activities. However, a sharp detective,
named Linda Fox is following his dodgy tracks. |
