Charles Michaels is an artist whose new marriage to Jennifer begins to crumble when he starts having recurring dreams about a killing that took place in his past. Into their lives come Tina, a beautiful model, who rents out a room in the Michaels' home, and then John, who takes a house nearby. But John isn't the innocent neighbor he appears to be. And Tina's appearance is also on coincidence. Something's up.

Charlie is an artist in a slump. He is constantly harassed by his "step-father-in-law," Bob Masters, about his having shot a burglar in the recent past. When Charlie and Jennifer decide to take in Tina as a boarder she turns out to be a model ready and willing to pose for Charlie and perhaps to offer him bonus services. Meanwhile John the new next door neighbor shows up, needing to borrow a cup of sugar and apparently trying to seduce Jennifer. Is there a way to weave all of these pieces together into a believable plot?—MJS
