A woman goes into a delusional state after her thuggish husband is killed, and travels to Los Angeles in search of a handsome soap-opera idol. However, she is unaware the hitmen responsible for her spouse's death are hot on her heels, determined to silence her and reclaim the stash of drugs hidden in the boot of her car. Comedy thriller, starring Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock and Greg Kinnear.

What happens when a person decides that life is merely a state of mind? If you're Betty, a small-town waitress and soap opera fan from Fair Oaks, Kansas, you refuse to believe that you can't be with the love of your life just because he doesn't really exist. After all, life is no excuse for not living. Traumatized by a savage event, Betty enters into a fugue state that allows -- even encourages -- her to keep functioning... in a kind of alternate reality.
