If you're talking about 'The American Dream', Alex and Nancy are the ideal example. They are a young and hip couple from New York with the world at their feet. One thing is still missing from their perfect life: a love house to live together. That changes when they unexpectedly find the house of their dreams. The elderly Mrs. Connely lives in the same apartment complex. Alex and Nancy soon find out that she isn't as nice and flexible as she first seemed. She completely demands the attention of the couple and she is on the doorstep for every change. Alex and Nancy's once perfect life begins to show cracks and their dream has turned into a nightmare. They begin to wonder if there isn't a way to work the old man out of the complex.
