"well, sometimes. but most of the time i love you so much, i can't even think straight."

When bartender Lori Bell hooks up with the lead singer of a band called Ashtray Heart as a rebound, she doesn't think anything will come of it.

She doesn't expect for the infatuation between the two of them to last for more than a night, — let alone that the pretty boy musician will wind up writing half an album about her.

As their situations change, Lori and Brian always seem to find their way back to one another, becoming one another's vices in addition to the sex and drugs that have become commonplace for the both of them.

Through a relationship that manages to be both volatile and strangely tender, the two form a connection that is seemingly impossible to sever, — even if it might in their best interests to leave one another alone.

Kat Dennings as Lori Bell

"You know... between the dress and the way you were staring at my tits, I kind of assumed you were a friend of Sappho."

Brian Molko as himself

"I'm not opposed to you being horribly nasty to me, love. I would simply like some warning."
