A work-obsessed woman striving for a better life briefly finds peace with her carefree partner before tragedy strikes.

Unable to pay their ever-increasing rent, roommates Jenny and Jane decide to sublet a sliver of space in their cramped downtown apartment. But when a string of unusually eccentric characters apply, they realize that city living may mean giving up the peaceful sense of normalcy they once knew.

A young woman lies dead in a house, strangled by her boyfriend in a fit of jealous rage. Full of steroids and remorse, he waits for the law to arrive. But the law is his father, a powerful and corrupt detective who races to the murder scene first so he can tamper with the evidence and thwart the police case. When the son literally gets away with murder, the dead woman's distraught brother Jeremy arranges his own justice.
