Synopsis



Heather Green (Van Lier) is a Chicago newspaper columnist who makes a bet with a filmmaker, Randy, that she can sleep with any man she wants, whenever she wants because she theorizes that all men crave sex. Randy films her unsuccessful attempts to prove her theory right, as well as her stalking her ex-boyfriend. Over the course of the movie, Randy begins to fall in love with Heather. When Heather finds a boyfriend, Cliff, and tells Randy filming is over, he begins to stalk her. She repeatedly tells him to leave her alone. Heather once again allows Randy to film after Cliff breaks up with her but this time he has to record without sound. At the end of the movie, Heather boards a train to an unknown destination. Randy watches her leave and decides to wait for her return.
