Thomas, a self-proclaimed recluse, is a photographer in New York City who sees the world through the lens of his camera. He approaches his photography-as well as his life-in a minimalist style, focusing on the purity and simplicity of things. His world is turned upside down when he encounters Sylvia, a free spirit with a wicked side, and her boyfriend Patrick, a guy's guy who is as intimidating as he is charming.
