He moves in and soon Margaret is competing for his attention with her 13 year old daughter Lisa. Provoked by Margaret's jealousy, Jim sleeps with Lisa and feels immediately guilty. Soon, Lisa and Jim are having a clandestine affair, and as Lisa gets involved with modeling for her mother's friend Frank, Jim's anger at the situation grows.
