[edit] Plot summary

Composer Richard Parker and his wife Priscilla live an ordinary suburban life until they meet their new neighbors Eddy and Kay Otis. The two couples became friends until some mate-swapping is suggesting by the men. However, the plot takes a nasty turn when Richard sleeps with Kay - who turns up bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat the next morning. Soon, Richard is charged with the crime and must prove his innocence.
