ROCKY, trying to get out from under the thumb of a mobster, takes one last hit job - killing AMANDA, an innocent witness to one of the mobster's crimes. Rocky breaks into Amanda's apartment, shoots her, then drives out to the desert to bury her body. But once in the lonely, windswept desert, Rocky can't bring himself to bury the beautiful Amanda, wondering why he was chosen for this line of work and why he had to kill this innocent woman. Suddenly the bloody Amanda wakes and turns the tables, much to Rocky's surprise and delight. Rocky convinces Amanda to run off with him, promising to take care of her and keep her safe. As they drive off to a new life together, the question is - was it all a dream?
