Three gay roommates must find a fourth to share their flat after blowing their rent on a stripper who won't strip. Their homophobic landlady threatens eviction because they are once again late with the rent and "the music they play is diabolical and frightens the neighbors." In walks tall, sexy Lucas, the answer to their current problem and more than one of their dreams.

The three close friends spend the next few months project­ ing their best fantasies on the longhaired stranger and viciously competing with one another for his attentions. One night they return home from a nightclub and find Lucas dead, a complete set of kitchen knives stuck into his chest. Enter the cleaning lady, fol­ lowed closely by the high-heeled Chief Inspector and her sidekick in red platforms who "forgot her badge in her other purse." Over coffee and Chinese tea with lemon, each tells his own real or imagined story about his relationship with Lucas, and they discover that they all had reasons to do him in.
