The central events of the non-linear plot revolve around a casual gathering between two male painters and their female acquaintance, Amanda. Although the gathering begins innocuously enough, tension gradually builds beneath the surface, creating a sense of discomfort. During the conversation, a few lines trigger one of the nameless painter's descent into a claustrophobic and increasingly abstract nightmare. The painter becomes irrationally angry with his roommate (painter 2), accusing him of trying to see his secret painting, without permission. As the painter's narcissistic rampage reaches its psychedelic climax, it becomes clear that his anger stems from more than just a desire to protect his art.
