Carter Page III (Harrelson; The People vs. Larry Flynt, Natural Born Killers) is the social butterfly of Washington's political elite. Known as a 'walker', his time is spent escorting the elegantly coiffed but lonely wives of Washington's political elite to the social events their husbands are uninterested in attending. Whether it's to the opera or dinner, or for a game of cards, Carter is their most sought-after and willing companion.

When his best friend Lynn Lockner (Scott Thomas; The English Patient, Gosford Park), the beautiful, smart, adoring wife of a Senator, discovers her lover has been brutally murdered, she instinctively turns to Carter for help. Caught in a web of intrigue and mixed motives, Carter suddenly finds himself implicated in the killing. As his friends desert him and the net grows tighter, he must race against time to find a way to clear his name.
