To handle her anxieties, Emily Brown (Meredith Bishop) is a kleptomaniac and addicted to pills. When security guard Nick (Jsu Garcia) sees Emily hitting the department store he works at, he becomes fixated on her; not because he's concerned with recovering stolen property, but in admiration of her work. A tentative relationship develops, but when Nick gets into trouble of his own, he sees Emily's talent as his only way out.
