Overcome with guilt, Jenna loses interest in her daily life and routine and chooses to live homeless on the streets of Las Vegas. Jenna meets The Captain who teaches her lessons about life on the streets. Jenna starts a promising relationship with Nick, another homeless person, but her sense of guilt and self-punishment forces her to abandon all her relationships, until she meets Lizbeth, a homeless child. Lizbeth is being exploited by Ruth, another homeless woman, who feels threatened by Jenna's maternal instincts towards Lizbeth and drives her away from Jenna. While living in a tunnel beneath the city, Jenna survives an attack by a mentally-disturbed man. Without no hope left, Jenna leaves the city and walks into the desert. There she encounters a rave and loses herself to the music and dancing. Losing her ego to the experience, Jenna returns to Las Vegas a lifeless zombie.
