A psychotic man opens fire in a diner, murdering numerous people before killing himself. The survivors struggle in different ways following this horrendous event: a doctor (Guy Pearce) doubts his own instincts and elects to use an experimental medical procedure on his wife, while a gambler (Forest Whitaker) believes he's on a lucky streak. A waitress (Kate Beckinsale) begins engaging in promiscuous sex, and a young girl (Dakota Fanning) whose father is among the dead gains unexpected fame.
