Years after escaping New York and the center of its artistic world --- a group of self-important, depraved and unscrupulous artists, curators and hangers-on --- our narrator is back in town. She’s wandering around the Lower East Side, thinking about the recent death of her former best friend, Rebecca, when she runs into Eugene, one half of the artist-curator couple at the heart of her old social set. Despite her better judgment, she accepts his invitation to a dinner party. And though the party is held only hours after Rebecca’s funeral, it's not a memorial of Rebecca but a dinner held in honor of a young, newly famous actress. When the guest of honor finally arrives, she sets in motion a disastrous end to the evening, laying bare the depravity and decadence of the hosts’ empty little lives.
