When struggling poet Stian is invited to a dinner party by a rich philanthropist, Winnie Mellor, he expects only opportunities. It soon becomes clear that Winnie's intentions are far from innocent as she begins using her power, influence and generous offerings to support Stian's artistic endeavours and, more importantly, ensure she gets what she wants from him. Along with the other guests - Garth the experimental film maker, Martin the stylish fashion designer and Kim the Philipino house maid - what we see is a cautionary tale about the dangers of lust and greed.
