Light Sleeper

“He was a good man in a deadly business. She was his only way out.”

John LeTour (Willem Dafoe) is a recovering addict who can't sleep and still delivers drugs to a wealthy Manhattan clientele, working for his boss Ann (Susan Sarandon). He wants out of the business and has begun to say so. When he runs into Marianne Jost (Dana Delany), an old flame, in the middle of a sanitation strike and a run of drug-related murders, Paul Schrader's story puts everything John has left on the line.
