Nineteen-year-old Charles (Fletcher) is a highly sexed and precociously intelligent teenager about to attend Oxford University. Before he does he intends to use all his charm and intelligence to seduce a beautiful American girl, Rachel (Skye). Charles becomes completely besotted by Rachel, and after numerous rebuffs he eventually forges a friendship with her. Things become complicated, however, and his strategy becomes threatened. Rachel already has a boyfriend, DeForest (Spader); however, he is a control freak who does not treat her particularly well. With help from his sister Jenny (Sharp), his lunatic brother-in-law Norman (Pryce) and best friend and big brother figure/mentor Geoff (Harris), Charles eventually manages to lure Rachel away from DeForest, and his father Gordon (Paterson) is impressed with Charles' new quarry; however, as the unlikely relationship develops, Charles discovers that his seemingly "perfect" woman has numerous dislikeable habits and personality traits, just like all of the other "lesser" girls he has previously seduced. Irritated by some of Rachel's habits, Charles grows bored and is seduced by, and later sleeps with, his old flame Gloria (Skinner), ending his relationship with Rachel, who subsequently moves to New York. Charles still ends up going to Oxford University, but he does not enjoy his life there, feeling that his life is missing something following the end of his relationship with Rachel. She and Charles accidentally meet up again in a museum there and spend the whole day together, but at the end, Rachel kisses him only on the cheek, and leaves. We hear Charles in voiceover saying that he tried to remember William Blake's quotation about love being eternal, so that he could say it to Rachel, but was unable to.

The movie opens with Johnny Solo (Gary Poux The LODGER) speaking about "getting out." The scene switches to an alley where Anthony (Guy Garner "JAG") is instructing a very nervous "customer" on how to kill the man who murdered his brother. After a very messy knifing, Anthony collects a suitcase that contains a brown envelope. We switch back to Johnny Solo, who is talking to a reporter about what he knows about the underworld of contract assassinations, in the hope of getting enough money to disappear. The story progresses, and involves a Mafia Don's illegitimate son, a New Age killer contractor (Kaiwi Lyman), a female assassin (Anna Silk SyFy Channel's "Lost Girl"), and the coldest killer of all, Roman (Michael Beach "Sons of Anarchy').
