Sarah Morton is a famous British author who is struck with a vicious case of writer’s block.  As a potential solution she seeks refuge in her publisher’s beautiful home in the South of France.  The peaceful locale is the perfect solution until the publisher’s reckless, party seeking daughter begins parading men through the house and causing chaos in general.  Their caustic interactions set off some strange dynamics in the household.
