比尔（杰里米?希尔伯德JeremyTheobald饰）是个游手好闲的作家，借跟踪陌生人打发时间。这让他体验到形形色色的人生，很神秘，也很刺激。不过，有一次，比尔盯上了一个西服革履的家伙克布（艾利克斯?浩尔AlexHaw饰）。尾随到餐厅之后，他却被对方识破，只得摊牌。克布是个贩卖盗版光碟的商贩，此外还做拧门撬锁的勾当。克布带着比尔潜入了陌生人家中，但比尔发现克布根本不取财物，而是寻找主人蓄意掩盖的隐私。同时，克布还提醒比尔要注意仪表。后来，比尔认识了一个神秘的金发女人（露西?拉塞尔LucyRussell饰）。在酒吧，比尔主动与她调情，但是对方冷若冰霜。原来她是黑社会大佬的女人，但是不可遏制的激情让比尔失去了理智，从而堕入了万劫不复的深渊……
