 Two lost souls: she a con-artist in L.A. (Joanna Going); he a puppeteer in San Antonio (Brendan Fraser) have the same dream linking each with the other. He travels to L.A. to find this woman he has become obsessed with. She resists, afraid of his kooky ideas until she travels with him to San Antonio and meets his wise grandmother (Celeste Holm). Story of two disparate people linked by "fate" gets increasingly interesting as it rolls along.
