Paul Hipp The Funeral and Bitty Schram Kissing a Fool play Robert and Hallie Marrs, a young LA couple, who go on vacation, leaving their house in the hands of strangers. They return to find their fish as dead as the plants, everything in disarray, and housesitters, clad in the couples clothes, refusing to leave. Zack Boyd Kestner and Sophie Radha Mitchell, the charismatic house sitting couple, soon infuse the repressed Robert with their erotically perverse irresponsibility. Robert, browbeaten and seemingly devoid of personality with even his sex life regulated by his domineering wifes ovulation cycle, is easily seduced by the sexy Sophie.
