A year after his fiancée's death, a playwright schedules a rehearsal for his new play, which proves to be a trap for her killer.

Louie Kritski is a heartless landlord who has been so negligent in keeping up his ghetto apartment that he is threatened with jail time. The judge gives him another option -- he must live in his rat-infested hell hole until he brings it up to liveable standards.
