In a remote estate in the Connecticut countryside, Jack Brooks awaits the imminent arrival of his flamboyant art dealer Vincent. But the visit is not a standard one, for Jack feels wronged, and he intends to kill the man. As Jack lays out his intentions for the evening, his wife Annie calmly paints. Harried and annoyed, Vincent arrives. Will Jack carry out his plan? Will Annie help him? Or is something else going on? The plot twists to the final turn and keeps the audience in suspense and laughing.
