Well-to-do homemaker Ellen Wheeler feels the unpleasant buzz of her nerves fraying more and more with every passing moment. She claims to have seen a pair of red-splotched bodies in the ominous house next door. Or have her neurotic quirks become psychotic delusions? A gallery of men and women seem to Ellen to be behaving strangely. Her businessman husband and her best friend might even be having an affair.
