Spoilers ahead
At a lavish mansion filled with music and chatter, a man named Bobby slips into the party, trying to avoid a tense confrontation by insisting he has an appointment with Cissy. When [Cissy] arrives, Bobby pitches a business idea—a dry cleaning store—and the evening pivots around a stark, unsettling display: a station wagon pulls into the garage, and a Doberman Pinscher, muzzled and caged, is brought inside to the murmur of the guests. The dynamic at the gathering grows increasingly fraught as the two men circle their interests, and the tension hints at far more dangerous games beneath the surface.
