Metropolitan

In Manhattan during a recent Christmas season, Tom Townsend, a leftist from New York's grittier streets, infiltrates the exclusive circle of "Sally Fowler's crew" -- a group of five debutantes and two young men, all hailing from the elite Park Avenue set, yet short on male escorts for the lavish Plaza balls. Amidst after-parties, this sophisticated and literate clique whiles away the hours discussing politics, Jane Austen, tangled romances, and the inevitable decline of their privileged class, occasionally delving into quirky debates over detachable shirt collars. Their world, dubbed the "Urban Haute Bourgeoisie," brims with wit, tension, and the undercurrents of social change.
