Il giovane e ambizioso giostraio Stanton 'Stan' Carlisle ha la straordinaria capacità di manipolare le persone ricorrendo all'uso di poche parole ben scelte. La sua esistenza avrà una svolta inaspettata quando incontrerà la psichiatra Lilith Ritter, ancor più pericolosa e affamata di denaro di lui.
