From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (ROBIN WRIGHT PENN) leads a charmed existence.

Embarking on a bittersweet journey of self-discovery, along with help from a new, strange and soulful acquaintance (KEANU REEVES), Pippa must now confront both her volatile past and the hidden undercurrents of her seemingly placid world to find the true sense of self which has always eluded her.
