College graduate, Richard Carnegie, arrives in New York with a promising opportunity at Moodys Investor Services. Hes asked to house-sit for an aunt in Ozone Park, Queens. The homes empty; except for Tony, the upstairs tenant, a widower. Tonys outdated mindset both amuses and irritates Richard. Tonys estrangement from family adds to his bitterness.
On the first day of work, while riding the subway, Richard meets Ester Chan. They quickly bond over their love for tennis and finance. A relationship is formed. Richard soon discovers that Esters tastes are both expensive and risqu. An affair leads into habits that would shock Richards family back home. However, the closer they grow, the less hes able to break her spell.
