Bill is a high-flying, conservative American banker who seemingly has it all—a lucrative career, a luxury Los Angeles home, and a traditional marriage. However, when a massive financial scandal erupts, Bill faces a devastating eight-year prison sentence for his corporate crimes. Choosing to run rather than surrender his freedom, a depressed and suicidal Bill goes into hiding. He is taken in by Angela, a fiercely independent, highly philosophical illegal Latina immigrant who lives strictly in the present moment. Through an intense, highly explicit extramarital affair and deep philosophical debates, Angela challenges Bill's puritanical views on wealth, politics, and sexuality. As their volatile connection deepens, Bill is forced to confront his abandoned, deceived wife and dismantle his entire past life, navigating a chaotic transformation sparked by a woman who refuses to be bound by traditional rules.
