Neil (Murphy) is a self-proclaimed film geek and owner of a video store. Neil's lack of a social life has not been good for his relationships with women until he meets Violet (Liu), a sexy and adventurous woman who is immediately taken with him. But he soon decides Violet may be a bit too adventurous. Neil is content to get his excitement from watching movies but when he realizes she would rather throw herself into thrilling situations rather than observe them from a distance, he fears her appetite for danger proves to be far more than he bargained for.
