Plot: Matt Simon (Josh Hartnett), a young advertising executive, returns to Chicago with his fiancé, Rebecca (Jessica Paré), after spending the last two years in New York. While in Bellucci's on a business meeting he thinks he spots Lisa (Diane Kruger), a woman with whom he had fallen deeply in love with and had then vanished without a trace. Matt puts his life and his business trip to China on hold and is caught in an obsessive search for her. With a little help from his friend Luke (Matthew Lillard), Matt tries to track Lisa down. His detective work leads him to a hotel room, but instead of Lisa, he finds her old compact. He is directed to her apartment and, with a key left by Daniel, (Christopher Cousins), he enters. He realizes someone is in the room and presumes her to be Lisa; the woman he meets tells him that she is Lisa (Rose Byrne). She asks him to stay the night because she is afraid of a man who has been stalking her for several days; Matt agrees, and the two end up sleeping together. In the morning she leaves for work, telling him she's a nurse. On her way, we witness a flashback which reveals that she's actually Alex, Lisa's neighbor and friend. We learn that Alex saw Matt and fell in love with him, and that the day she came to speak with him was the day he fell in love with Lisa.

In the present, Alex has been dating Matt's friend Luke and working as a theater artist (not a nurse), and when she finds out about Matt's return to town, she again plans to fulfill her dream and tries to stop him from finding Lisa. Meanwhile, Matt and Lisa cross paths a few time, never noticing one another. Matt begins to suspect something and eventually uncovers Alex's plan after he buys her a pair of shoes, the same pair of shoes Lisa broke at the restaurant and which she bought from Matt two years earlier, and discovers that they're too big for her. He knows something is up because Lisa's same size broken shoes are at that apartment. He follows Alex, and reaches the restaurant where she's having lunch with Luke. Matt finally sees through her; Alex admits that Lisa left for Europe, leaving a letter for Matt telling him that she loved him. Alex didn't deliver the letter and instead deleted all the messages Lisa left for Matt (using the key Lisa gave her to his apartment so she could drop the letter off); in the meantime, she told Lisa that she'd seen Matt with another woman. Luke tells Matt that Lisa called and said to ask Matt to meet her at 3 and that he'll know where. Alex tells him Lisa is leaving for London.
