Plot
One night in Chicago, police officer Sharon Pogue is at the scene of a traffic accident holding the hand of one of the victims, pleading that he hold on and not give up. One year later, Sharon has become estranged from her family for having her father arrested after he beat her mother. He and her brother have never forgiven her.
A man known only as "Catch" wanders the streets in a trance-like state, doing good deeds for strangers and neighbors. He eventually watches Sharon at a diner from across the street. A car pulls up and opens fire on the diner with a machine gun, Sharon and her partner chase after the suspects. She catches up with one gunman and in the ensuing struggle, he gets her gun. He prepares to shoot her in the head, but Catch tackles him.
That night, Sharon and Catch meet at a tavern and have a drink. During their conversation, he refuses to talk about himself. Sharon invites him to her apartment, and they eventually kiss. Catch abruptly stops and leaves the apartment, leaving her confused.
