Plot Summary
After some ill-treatment at a party of the Hellfire Club's Black Court by a man called Jason Wyngarde, Adrienne decides she is too embarrassed to return to the mansion and face the many people who told her she'd been crazy to join the Club, mostly Garrison Kane, who she'd gone to see prior to the party, hoping to be talked out of going in the first place, surprised when he'd brushed her off without fighting with her.
She moves into the penthouse above her New York 64 Square office, and though she sees it as an improvement over the mansion for the time being, Adrienne has been afraid to live there since her husband Steven's death, since the penthouse was the place where she foresaw her own death at his hands, and also where they were staying when she had him killed. Not that she believes his ghost is still inhabiting the place! Being in the penthouse prompts the resurfacing of old nightmares from her past, but Adrienne assumes they will fade in time.
Two weeks in the penthouse has Adrienne's nightmares growing worse, however, and she finds her energy greatly reduced, to a much larger degree than the sleep deprivation she's had in the past. She confesses her issues to Lil at Harry's, and after counseling Adrienne that she should make some good memories to replace the bad ones in the penthouse, Lil jokingly suggests she has a ghost at the place, and that she should hold a seance or exorcise it. Though she knows there is no real ghost, Adrienne invites Lil, Wanda, and Amanda over for dinner and warns them that after a few drinks the exorcism may be attempted.
As expected, after copious amounts of alcohol the four women attempt to banish the presence of Adrienne's evil dead husband from the penthouse. To Adrienne's horror, however, Steven appears and begins to taunt her. The other women cannot see him, however, so Adrienne is essentially on her own.
Falling easily into old patterns, Adrienne attempts to placate Steven and curb his violent tendencies, until he notices her three friends. He cannot touch them directly, but he can touch the furniture in the house and uses this realization to trap Amanda and Wanda in the kitchen, which had been fitted during Steven's life as a sort of panic room, and Lil in the bedroom. Steven then returns his attentions to Adrienne, stating that he intends to kill her. Adrienne accepts this until she realizes
