Once upon a time, in the small town of Arcata in California, a rich and successful actor (Anthony Hopkins) made a promise to a young, attractive and vulnerable girl (Kate Nelligan): "I shall love you. Look after you. I don't want to hurt you or oppress you, or deny you in any way". But the promise was broken. After being constantly abused and assaulted, the girl left, and the actor fell into a self-destructive spiral: drink, no friends, no work. Now, left alone in a shabby basement flat, he is haunted by that promise, the girl to whom he made it, and himself.
