Psychiatrist Jake Nyman is taking a much needed vacation from responsibility. An experimental road trip during which every decision will be made on the flip of a coin. Meanwhile Sandra Thomas, disenchanted professional, is en route to pick up her flunked out sister Alice at a cheap motel before continuing on to visit their ailing mother. After being forced off the road by a mysterious assailant, Sandra is picked up by Jake, whose coin flipping amoral attitude quickly excites her own desire to break a few rules. Jake and Sandra’s dark romance is soon driven by chance acts of crime and kindness, all governed by the flip of a coin - at least until Sandra mysteriously disappears and Jake unwittingly picks up her suspicious sister Alice.
