The fashion editor of a successful magazine is leading a stressful life due to her hard working days and long nights of partying. Consulting a psychiatrist about her problem, she is told to simplify her life to take the stress away, so she quits her job, moves to a Greenwich Village apartment and takes up painting again. When she meets a man that's interested in her, her past comes back to haunt her when a former acquaintance turns up dead and she's implicated in his murder.
