In Phoenix, Arizona, there is a night club where various people are meeting, all with a magical compulsion that causes them to look for and join night club. This is just another day in their ordinary life, until now. The lights all come on, the music stops and strange men and women have met each other for the first time. Then, our protagonists begin to converse. Everyone is waiting to meet a reclusive patron who has funded their travels to the night club, and who claims to have a reward for them. Outside, the night club is a large deluxe studio apartment, with many windows that were closed. Inside, the golden embroidered drapes, the lights, the colors and sounds were both foreign and local.
