While they wait for their big break, the photographers Leon and Maya live together in a small apartment in the city. Maya works as a waitress. When Maya contacted their mutual friend Jurgis, he arranged for Leon to meet with the successful owner of an artists gallery named Susan Hoff. During their meeting, Susan Hoff critiqued Leon's work and requested that he improve the quality of his photographs. During the night, the troubled Leon makes the decision to go out and take pictures with his camera while wandering the streets.

The following morning, Leon is the one to make the shocking discovery that the woman has vanished. He goes to the police station, but Detective Lynn Hadley does not pay any attention to him and discredits his statement.
