The cast of characters includes a brilliant chemist who terrorizes his beautiful wife, a young advertising executive and his attractive family, a woman crippled by obesity who has found happiness in her penthouse garden, a pair of elderly sisters, a charming french couple, and others. Enter a neurotic, alcoholic woman - a famous writer - intent on finding refuge. However, her twisted nature forces her to find a victim instead, and she closes in on the only youngster in Number Ten.
