Brooke Collier (Golden Globe« Winner Mia Farrow) is a neurotic Hollywood starlet who still clings to her rag doll like a child despite the rising amount of very adult problems in her life - her career has stalled, she's having an affair with a married man (Emmy« Award Winner* Ed Flanders), and she suffers violent, irrational mood swings. In an attempt to rebound from her life's failings, she accepts a marriage proposal from a millionaire (John Colicos). Throughout all of her internal, and occasionally external conflicts, her only friend is a frustrated writer and neighbor, Harlan Webb (Emmy Award Winner Hal Holbrook). As Brooke's situation and temperament become increasingly dire, Harlan may be the only thing that can save her from herself.
