They are sufferingly fucked - on crutches and without, in a cast, with broken limbs - in search of truth. There is no and cannot be love, and people change partners in promiscuous orgies on wheels.

In the process, her husband was sent to the other world, but oh well. So they lived until James crashed into a doctor’s car in full swing with Gestapo manners (repainted Hunter brown-haired). They live together and periodically make love, but it's all somehow cold. The delights of this lesson were discovered by James (Spader), who has trouble with his wife (Kara Anger). In Toronto, a most interesting group of people live for whom car accidents replace Viagra.
