Film buff David moves to Los Angeles to become a screenwriter, but struggles to complete his scripts and is relegated to working as a storyboard artist. He forms a friendship with fellow writer Nicole through workshops, only for their friendship to abruptly end when he makes a romantic pass at her. David's life changes when a young woman named Kat forces herself into his car. After Kat reveals that she is homeless, David reluctantly allows her to live with him.
Despite her erratic behavior and troubled past, David finds himself drawn to Kat and they start to become intimate. Kat informs David she came to Los Angeles from Idaho with a man she loved, but he abandoned her and she resorted to prostitution to survive. The two nearly separate when Kat arranges to start working for a pimp named Armstrong, but David, unable to abandon her, ensures she returns to his apartment.
David and Kat grow closer, culminating with Kat becoming pregnant. However, Kat refuses to change her lifestyle and continues to consume alcoholic beverages. Recognizing that they are not prepared to raise a child, David convinces Kat to get an abortion. Shortly afterwards, Kat destroys David's screenplay notes. A heated argument between the couple ensues and Kat leaves David to return to Idaho.
With Kat gone, David finally gains the inspiration to complete his first script about their time together and resumes his friendship with Nicole. After David remarks that his life is better without Kat, Kat calls him to reveal she has returned to Los Angeles. David initially refuses to take Kat back to his apartment, but eventually relents and allows Kat to live with him again.
