"The scene is set in New York City. Alan Patterson, handsome, brilliant, and successful, was the paragon of junior executives, but he made two tragic mistakes: he befriended Lily Hanson, a startlingly beautiful young girl, in Schrafft's because she needed a good meal, and he underestimated Merle Jenkins, his office boy and a petty thief with psychopathic tendencies."
