A desperate young man pumps five bullets into a well known successful author as he leaves a New York club and then turns the gun on himself. Questions surround this seemingly senseless murder and investigative reporter David Leader (Eric Stoltz), is assigned the case. David soon meets Emma Burgess (Jennifer Connelly), an extremely beautiful but manipulative woman, who is directly involved in this case as David will discover. She had an incestuous relationship with Elliot (Dermot Mulroney) her brother and the gunman. Emma had also been involved with Austin Blair (Dennis Hopper) the author who, Elliot believed had revealed their "family" secret in his latest novel. As David tries to piece together the story, he finds himself increasingly drawn to into the inner circle of the wealthy Burgess family and all their unique, if not sinister quirks. Emma also complicates the situation further by casting an unwitting David under her spell, as he searches for the answers some may not want to be found.
