            Lisa Temple (Justine Bateman) lies comatose in a hospital bed, the victim of a vicious assault. Upon awakening, she has no memory of her previous life, and certainly no recollection of her husband Paul's (Peter Outerbridge) efforts to divorce her. Police Detective Washburn (Elizabeth Lennie) investigating the assault has discovered Lisa was at her restaurant the night before it happened spending several hours with a large man with a mustache (James Purcell). Lisa's engagement ring was stolen which made Paul a suspect. The man with the mustache tries to visit Lisa in the hospital but only steals flowers for Lisa without leaving a card.
Returning to her unfamiliar palatial home with still-leery Paul, Lisa is reintroduced to Bonnie Temple (Amy Stewart), Paul's little sister, who hates Lisa even more than Paul. Eventually, Bonnie reveals to Lisa that something "changed" Lisa a few years ago, totally turning her world upside down, transforming Lisa into a mean-spirited terror who constantly criticized Bonnie and moved all of Paul's things into the guest room. Yet no one, on advice from her psychiatrist, Dr. Holcross (Kenneth Welsh), will tell her exactly what happened to her. There is also a mysterious locked room in their home for which only Paul has the key.
Lisa slowly begins to remember her early life with Paul. At Paul's air charter business, she remembers the collector car Paul drove on their first date to the beach. They take a drive there at Lisa's beckoning and she recalls their first date. Later, the police detective again stops to speak to Paul, who has slowed divorce proceedings with his attorney and is appreciating the new personality in Lisa. Paul tells the detective there are things Lisa is better off not remembering.
Meanwhile, the man with the mustache is clean shaven, has taken on the alias Mr. Brown, and has taken a maintenance position with Paul's company. Bonnie arrives home from school after an uncomfortable encounter with a boy she likes. Lisa buoys her confidence. Photos Lisa has found restore her memory of her wedding to Paul. Mr. Brown is seen near Paul's car before he leaves work for home. Paul has a small accident when his breaks fail.
Bonnie greets Paul on his return home after the accident a bit afraid because it reminds her of the past. Lisa remembers her honeymoon from the photos. She notices a photo of two men with her in the restaurant. Paul does not know them but says they were probably friends of hers from when they were leading separate lives. Lisa says she does not want to lead a separate life any more. Meanwhile, Brown has dozens of photos of himself and Lisa tacked up in his apartment.
The next morning, Anna (Jackie Richardson), their maid, has a migraine, so Lisa takes it upon herself to make breakfast. Her souffle deflates much to the hilarity of Bonnie and Paul. In Paul office, Lisa hear a voice message from Paul's lawyer about the need to file for divorce. Paul tells Lisa she is different now since her injury and that he thought she had given up on him. At her psychiatrist appointment, the doctor tells Lisa that the family needs to know she won't hurt them when the memories of the past resurface.
Lisa helps Bonnie with a new hairstyle before going to bed. She tells Paul she wants to be his friend and they shake on it. They decide to go to a party with friends Lisa wasn't very tolerant of in the past. Lisa is nervous at the party, but makes a good impression. Paul and Lisa leave for a weekend at the cabin. They hike through the woods reliving memories and make love by the fireplace.
Meanwhile, Brown picks up his newly adjusted and sighted gun from the gun shop wearing a diamond ring on a chain around his neck. Lisa and Bonnie go shopping. She sees her restaurant and steps inside. There, Lisa remembers Wesley, the restaurant's bartender, who tell her that the mustached man in the photo was someone she met with the night of the assault, knew well, and it was the only time he ever saw her take off her engagement ring.
Lisa has to stop short on the street on the way home. Bonnie is frightened saying it reminds her of the accident she was in with her parents. The car phone rings. Anna tells Lisa the police have found the men who assaulted her. Detective Washburn tells Lisa that the men who attacked her were after her credit cards. She shows the detective a photo of two men and her in the restaurant. After Lisa leaves, police identify the mustached man as Joe Dooley who is known to do the dirty work for a mobster. Later, Lisa confides to Dr. Holcross that she must have done something in her life to separate herself from her family, but she doesn't know what.
Bonnie has a date with Jody Mueller (Matthew Smith). Words said at the door as she departs for her date, trigger a memory in Lisa. She takes Paul's keys and opens the mysterious locked door in their home to find their child's bedroom. Lisa remember that their child was killed in the same accident that killed Paul's parents. Lisa breaks down and Joe leaves. Anna tries to console Lisa, encouraging her not to push everyone out of her life again. Lisa finds Paul at the country cabin. She tells him that she is responsible for everything the old Lisa did to separate them, but that she, the new Lisa loves him and doesn't want to lose him again.
Early the next morning with Paul still in bed, Lisa sees a reflection and goes out into the woods to investigate. There she finds Joe Dooley with his gun. He tells her to leave and get an alibi. Lisa recalls telling Joe to eliminate her pain the night before her assault. She tries to stop Joe telling him everything is alright now. Joe, obsessed with Lisa, will not comply. Paul calls to Lisa and she runs toward him. As she nears Paul, Joe shoots and Lisa goes down. He continues to shoot at Paul and misses twice. Paul grabs his gun from the cabin and fires back. Joe's next shot hits Paul in the thigh. Paul loses his gun and goes down. Joe approaches him and points the gun at his chest, telling him how his wife wanted him to feel her pain. Lisa grabs Paul's gun and shoots Joe before he can pull the trigger.
At the hospital, Lisa is recovering. Detective Washburn says there will be no charges. Lisa shot in self-defense. Joe forgives Lisa for the past and the couple pledges to begin a new life together.
