Tre giovani amici - il giornalista Alex, il commercialista David e la dottoressa Juliet - cercano un coinquilino con cui condividere le spese del grande appartamento in cui vivono. Finalmente un giorno trovano la persona giusta, ma, dopo la prima notte trascorsa nella casa, il nuovo inquilino viene trovato cadavere. Sembrerebbe un suicidio. I tre stanno per chiamare la polizia, quando si accorgono che l'uomo aveva con sé una valigia piena zeppa di soldi. La tentazione è troppo forte. Alex e Juliet, i più spregiudicati, convincono il più prudente e restio David a sbarazzarsi del cadavere per dividersi quella montagna di denaro.
