The film follows Paul (played by Eric Edwards), a filmmaker traumatized by the death of his only true love in a car accident. Devastated, he retreats into a sensual dreamworld, becoming obsessed with a mannequin that he dresses and treats as his deceased lover. To cope with his loss, he seeks help from a psychiatrist, whose secretary eventually takes a personal interest in him, creating a conflict between his real-world connections and his strange psychological attachments.
