Review: Tony Watkins is a writer who works from home, living in a tenement housing mostly older people. When Tony and another resident discover a dead person in the elevator, Tony’s ready to head to the club, after all the excitement, to tell his group of friends all the gory details of the day.
Kirk Logan is someone who frequents that club, always dressed to the nines and picking up any twink who’s available. But Kirk is only using that as a ploy. He has tried working his way into this circle of Tony’s, but Tony has made it clear he wants nothing to do with Kirk. Though eventually, Tony decides to give Kirk a chance, and they get to know each other. And Tony, being honest with Kirk, starts to see a change.
As the numbers begin to increase in the elevator murders, Kirk becomes more concerned about Tony, and rightfully so, when Tony’s life is endangered and the mystery of the murders takes a twist.
