Plot:
In Manhattan, the successful Dr. William "Bill" Harford lives in a fancy apartment at Central Park and has been married for nine years with his wife Alice Harford, who worked at an art gallery that closed. They have a seven-year-old daughter, Helena Harford, and have a happy marriage. When they go to a Christmas party promoted by their friend Victor Ziegler, Alice dances and flirts with a stranger, the Hungarian Sandor Szavost, while Bill flirts with two models. Bill sees that the pianist of the band is his former friend from college, Nick Nightingale and talks to him, but Nick has an appointment and gives the address where he is playing since he lives in Seattle. Out of the blue, Victor calls Bill since the young woman Mandy has just had an overdose while having sex with him, but Bill helps her and she lives. On the next night, Bill and Alice smoke marijuana and the stoned Alice tells him that she considered the possibility of having an affair with the naval officer she met during vacation. Bill is still disturbed by Alice's confessions and is called by his client's daughter Marion, who tries to seduce him. While walking on the streets of New York City, Bill meets the prostitute Domino and goes with her to her apartment, but Alice calls him, and he just pays Domino. He continues to wander and stumbles upon Nick's jazz club. When Nick ends his show, he drinks with Bill and tells him that he must leave him since she will play blindfolded at a mansion for a secret society that promotes masked orgies. Bill sees the password to access the mansion and forces Nick to say the address. Nick tells him that he needs a mask and costume to go, but Bill succeeds in getting them. He hires a taxi driver and heads to the mansion. He enters, and soon he is warned by a masked woman to leave the place since the people is dangerous. Bill does not leave the mansion and soon he learns the price for staying in the orgy.
