Artist Gavin McKeen has replaced desire for his wife with aspirations of fame, with partial success. He maximizes his profits by spying on clients in his home-based art studio, learning their intentions before they make offers.
Gavin’s fifteen-year marriage to his wife Lydia was blemished in years previous by his affair with a friend from college. In a hasty attempt to put the iniquitous deed to rest, he proposed she reciprocate at a time and place of her choosing and never disclose the event. But over time, images of her retaliation have haunted him, and he fears not knowing will consume him in angst.
Knowing Lydia hates a particular painting, Gavin offers her a “sell or tell” bargain, with the assurance he’ll be watching to keep her honest. When the clients arrive, he enters his spy booth—a defunct dumbwaiter shaft with a one-way glass mirror hung over a hole in the wall.
Gavin soon realizes he should have thought twice before challenging Lydia. She proves her prowess by unleashing a litany of tawdry surprises before his spying eyes. Unfortunately for Gavin, his excitement leaves him stuck in the dumbwaiter shaft, even after forgiven and invited to participate.
After an embarrassing 911 call, Gavin’s luck takes a turn for the better when Lydia returns with her friend Deidre for a happy ending with a humorous twist. He gets away with being sneaky this time, but he won’t underestimate Lydia again.
