Amy is a district attorney who was Vince's girlfriend before she was lured away by John. There is plenty to talk about....

The nature of memory and truth and the bonds between old friends and lovers are examined with jagged intensity. Amy arrives at the motel expecting only to see Vince but is stunned to be also facing John, and her past.
