Marjorie and Daniel have serious marital problems. He's a wealthy art collector who's stubbornly besotted with her; she's a pill-popping eccentric who wants him dead. Their damaged lives revolve around her obsession with Edward Hopper and the brief encounter she had with him as a teenager. The arrival of a young couple hoping to view Marjorie's Hopper painting forces her to choose between living in the past and dropping the fantasty in favor of something real.
