The film opens with short-order cook Frank D'Arbo telling the audience of the only two good memories he's had in a life of disappointment: marrying... his beautiful wife Sarah , and an incident in which he directed a police officer to catch a purse snatcher. Frank immortalizes these two events in a pair of crayon drawings he hangs on his wall for inspiration. Later on, Sarah, a recovering addict, leaves Frank for Jacques , a charismatic strip club owner who gets her hooked on drugs.
