A young stockbroker in New Orleans drifts through movies and affairs, chasing what he calls the search for a real life. A crisis with his fragile cousin at Mardi Gras finally nudges him toward marrying her and settling down.

The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life.
