In a mansion named Project Hollywood, a man named Mystery alternates between destructive violence and miserable sobbing. The house is a wreck, even more than usual, due to Mystery's violent outbursts. There are five roommates in the house, Herbal, Mystery, Papa, Playboy and the narrator, Style. Yet Style knows he is the only one who will help Mystery. Mystery is threatening suicide, and Style is determined to get him to the Hollywood Mental Health Center.
