When Susan and Artie Blanchard move up to the luxury classic Manhattan apartment, their old and cramped walk-up seems a distant memory. Despite Artie's misgivings, Susan's in love with the place. And Mark, the building super, is so nice... (and such a stud!) And that wonderful elevator! And how Susan loves being inside the car, and how sexy she suddenly feels... What can possibly be wrong with this beautiful old building? Why is Mark so helpful? What secret hides in the building, and in the elevator?
