John LeTour (Willem Dafoe, 'Wild At Heart') is a good man in a bad business working for Ann (Susan Sarandon, 'Thelma & Louise') on the wrong side of the law. When Ann decides to close up shop, LeTour has to go straight and come up with a future. But time is running out on him as he must dodge the cops, confront a killer and find his heart before he can leave his past behind.
Written and directed by Paul Schrader ('American Gigolo', 'Mishima'), 'Light Sleeper' is a brooding urban drama set against the dark excesses of New York City’s high class drug scene.
