Sociopath Lee Ray Oliver (Ray Liotta) is about to pay the ultimate price for the brutal murders he committed. But rather than receive a lethal injection, he received a strong sedative that put him into a deep sleep. After being pronounced dead, he awakens later to find that he is getting a second chance IF he participates in an experimental mood-changing experiment to cure a person of criminal instincts. He is given a new name and sent to a small town to start a new life. But old habits are hard to break, despite the medications.

But when Ned is beaten up and can't play "Desdemona," his dresser, Maria (Claire Danes), takes on the role. Now, the Puritans are out of power, and Charles II decides that women should be on stage. This leaves Ned out in the cold–until rising-star Maria finally catches his eye.
