In tarda notte, una limousine percorre Mulholland Drive (una strada che attraversa le colline attorno a Los Angeles, California); al suo interno c'è una donna dai capelli scuri (interpretata da Laura Elena Harring) e due uomini; improvvisamente, l'auto si ferma ed uno dei due uomini punta una pistola contro la donna; subito dopo, però, dei pirati della strada si schiantano contro la limousine. La donna resta miracolosamente illesa, ma ha un'amnesia. Abbandona la scena dell'incidente e scende la collina che porta a Los Angeles, stendendosi nel giardino di un appartamento e mettendosi a dormire. Il giorno successivo, si sveglia e vede la proprietaria dell'appartamento, una donna di mezza età dai capelli rossi, che sta per partire.
