The faded and aging Harriet Oxenholme searches the newspaper for workmen who can come to her house to fill the hours left by a loveless marriage. Teddy Brex seems perfect, but he is less interested in Harriet than in what he can pilfer from her home. His lustful eye locks on a fairy-princess-like teenager who possesses a secret so devastating it could consume everyone around her.
