The film begins and ends with the protagonist Jake Scully (Wasson) playing the character of a vampire on the set of a low-budget horror film. He is unable to rise from a coffin due to claustrophobia, causing him to lose the part. He also attends an acting workshop to improve his skills. He has recently found himself without a home, after witnessing his girlfriend having an affair in her home, where he had been living. At the workshop class, he makes a new friend, who gives him a house-sitting offer he cannot refuse, on top of a cul-de-sac with 360 degree views (aided by a bed that rotates slowly). He also introduces Jake to his "favorite neighbor" via telescope; a beautiful young woman who dances seductively, half naked, in the window of a nearby house. Jake's nightly voyeuristic viewings of this woman quickly evolve into a murder mystery, as he witnessess a murder. At one point in the film, we see a "movie within a movie" with Frankie Goes to Hollywood performing the song "Relax" on the set of a porno shoot.
