En ung aspirerande författare förföljer främlingar i sökandet efter inspiration inför sin första roman. När han blir påkommen av en välvårdad man i mörk kostym tar inspirationen en helt ny riktning, och de två slår följe under en serie inbrott.

Filmen, filmad på 16mm-film, la grunden för det vi kommit att se som Nolans kännetecken, och belönades med både festivalpriser och kritikers lovord vid sin premiär.
