Walker Kennedy and his wife Col are a happy, suburban couple. Then the thing they fear the most happens: part of their surrounding is turned into a building site, for what turns out to be the widely acclaimed first house built by devoted architect Kim, who has a short affair with Col. However each subsequent couple that moves into the house soon turns nasty, never staying for long. When Kim finally buys it with his wife, Col who believes he somehow curses all his buildings insists it's time to deal with him, permanently.
