Plot Summary

On New Year's Eve, a timid bellhop named Ted is tasked with servicing a suite of four hotel rooms, each occupied by a different, bizarre group of guests. As Ted navigates the peculiar demands and dangerous situations presented by each room's inhabitants, he finds himself increasingly entangled in their eccentric and often violent affairs. From a coven of witches to a child-rearing couple with a perverse bet, Ted's night becomes a surreal descent into the absurd.
