His frustration builds when he's informed that he ate meals with them the day before. In his growing confusion, he returns to his room, finds a bag of bottles in his kitchenette and decides to discard them in the building's trash chute. When the bag gets stuck, Paul is shocked to discover a body wedged in the trash chute. Things go downhill from there for Paul as he becomes a suspect and then is threatened himself by the murderer. Along the way Paul discovers love and romance, while trying to stay alive and find the killer.
