A brief, tense phone conversation between politically connected powerhouse Tom Buchanan and a desperate lower-class thug named Judd over Buchanan's bisexual wife Daisy, her working-class lover Lolita and Bartlesby, the enigmatic head of Buchanan's personal security force, results in an interlocking series of actions which culminates in a brutal murder. Thereafter the Buchanans, in a subsequent phone, conversation grapple with the fall-out from the crime, its alleged resolution, and the effect the incident has had on their open marriage.
