In a New York tenement live a husband and wife and the husband's brother. The husband has not been the same since his prolonged stay in a hospital
He cannot hold a job and is frequently away overnight without explanation. His card playing companions come to bother him and a stranger, more brutal crew was never encountered
The husband's brother has yearnings for the young wife. She pleads for her husband's love and confidence; his strange life has driven her to the edge of hysteria. The explanation lies in an addiction acquired in the hospital
"Horrifying and true. There is no resisting the pathos and terror of [the] most illuminating scenes" ~ N.Y. Times
