LUCY DEVIL HAS WEALTH SYNDROME

by Chris Howlett

Lucy Devil, movie star extraordinaire, has withdrawn to her isolated, dusty mansion. Unable to reconcile her temperament with the unsentimental habits of the "real" world, Lucy cocoons herself in affectations and the affections of her manager, Teddy, and her live-in help, Samantha. But when Lucy's estranged sister arrives with news of misfortune, the foundations of Lucy's fragile world are sorely tested.
