Plot: On the coast of Cork, Syracuse is a fisherman, on the wagon, living alone. His precocious daughter, Annie, about 10, has failing kidneys. One day, a nearly-drowned young woman comes up in his net; she speaks oddly, calls herself Ondine, and wants no one to see her. He puts her up in an isolated cottage that was his mother's. Annie discovers Ondine's presence and believes she's a selkie, a mythical seal turned human while on land. If this is a fairy tale, is there a happily ever after, or do the realities of alcohol, illness, and worse intrude, including Syracuse's inveterate bad luck? As his priest tell him, misery's easy, it's happiness you have to work at. Any hope of that?

Chelsea, August of 1969,a slumming Southern Belle and her two visiting sorority friends are throwing a party in the hope that Andy Warhol will make an appearance. In his stead, a few Warhol bottom feeders arrive. The lowliest hanger-on, Ann, arrives on the arm of her abusive boyfriend, Silver George, a notorious amphetamine fiend. As soon as Ann arrives, she falls under the rabid eye of Rotten Rita, an insidious drug dealer and sadist. Silver George abandons Ann in his pursuit of new female conquests. After some obligatory drug use and gossip, Silver seduces the pregnant and married, sorority sister of the hostess. Ann, oblivious to her surroundings, sits at the foot of the bed, reading of Sharon Tate's fate. As Ann pops pills and downs Tall Boy beers, her boyfriend rapes the unconscious sorority girl. Gradually, the partygoers fall into a drugged slumber. Except for Rotten Rita and Ann. Ann, in need of her fix, rummages through Silver George's pockets and with her stolen, crumpled bills stumbles into Rotten Rita's waiting arms. Rotten Rita gently cradles Ann as he carefully prepares her syringe, and overdoses her. His mission of mercy complete, Rotten Rita holds Ann and waits for the others to find her dead body. One by one the guests huddle around the body. It is finally decided that a bath will revive Ann, and so she is laid to rest, floating in the tub. This having failed, it is decided that Ann should be injected with mother's milk. When this proves likewise futile, Ann is stripped to her undergarments and laid in wake amongst the drugs and empty beer cans on the coffee table. The guests leave the problem of Ann to her boyfriend, and return to their blissful, heroin induced sleep. Silver George drags Ann's body onto the fire escape, where he suspects some kind stranger will find her or she will simply dissipate. Silver George leaves the Southern Belle and Factory regulars to solve the riddle of the girl whose face they can't quite place.
