James Ballard (Spader) di professione fa il regista pubblicitario, e grazie a un incidente d'auto impara ad associare il piacere sessuale agli scontri automobilistici e al rischio di morire su un'autostrada. James inizia una relazione pericolosa con la dottoressa Helena Remington (Hunter), che in un sinistro ha perduto il marito e riesce a coinvolgere la moglie in complessi scambi di coppia. L'uomo incontra e subisce il fascino di Vaughan (Koteas), autore di ricostruzioni di famosi incidenti.
