It took me awhile to understand that none of it was my fault, I wasn't a bad person and therefore I had nothing to be ashamed of. Catch and Pogue are two wounded souls who though having found comfort in each other, must journey through their private pain separately to discover some semblance of peace. A hard-nosed street cop treated as a sister by her protective peers, Pogue took up law enforcement partially to vent the anger she has towards her abusive father. We can connect the dots right away. She apparently can't.
Catch is a mysterious man revealed layer by layer throughout the film.
What we do know is that Catch wonders around the city like a good Samaritan committing random acts of kindness and that he first met Pogue at the scene of a serious car accident which opens the film. Catch, we assume, is the victim and Pogue is an officer at the scene who saves his life. A year later, they meet again under curious circumstances and a very unusual courtship begins. That courtship is part of the film's shortcomings. At times, it is a giddy romance.
