HIGH-RISE

1975. Dr Robert Laing, in search of anonymity, moves into a new flat in a recently completed tower block near London. But he soon discovers that his neighbours, obsessed by a strange rivalry, have no intention of leaving him in peace…

Soon he’s caught up in their game. And as he struggles to uphold his social position, his manners and sanity begin to deteriorate along with the building: the lights and lift no longer work, but the party goes on! Alcohol has become the primary currency and sex the panacea.
