When enigmatic school master James Wallraven (Michael Redgrave) rents a small room adjacent to Wanda's (Bette Davis), an ageing cellist, he soon realises that the privacy he seeks is clearly unattainable. From there begins a parade of revolving doors through which the occupants of this seedy West London boarding house – a sleazy young musician (Alexis Kanner), a snooping landlady (Kay Walsh) – all seemingly stuck in purgatories of their own making, desperately attempt to find their place in a tainted society.
