In London in the 1930s, young people indulged in various dances all day long. They drank and had promiscuity. The writer Adam is one of them. In order to enter the upper class, he decided to marry the socialite Nina, known as the "prom animal". When he returned from France, the books he brought back were seized by customs because of unhealthy content, which made him lose a lot of money. So Adam had to raise a sum of money as soon as possible to save his marriage with Nina. Nina's family is huge, but extremely conservative. Nina is not allowed to marry a young writer who has no reputation and no status. They tried their best to prevent Nina and Adam from marrying. Nina had to sneak out of the house and found Adam. Adam has no choice. The two can only comfort each other in the face of a hopeless future. At this time a group of friends came to them.

Simon Balcairn: [Telling his fake news story] Never, never, never have such scenes been witnessed in high society, that uneasy alliance between Bright Young Things and old survivors. Perhaps this was the defining moment of our epoch of speed and syncopation. This so-called 20th century of angst, neurosis and panic. Reader be glad that you have nothing to do with this world.

The faster the ride, the greater the nausea, the terror, and the shame.
[pause]
Simon Balcairn: Stop. Yes, that's it. Good night.

Adam Fenwick-Symes: Oh Nina, what a lot of parties... Masked parties, Savage parties, Victorian parties, Greek parties, Wild West parties, Circus parties, parties where you have to dress as somebody else, almost naked parties in St. John's Wood, parties in flats and studios and houses and ships and hotels and nightclubs, in swimming baths and windmills. Dances in London so dull. Comic dances in Scotland and disgusting dances in the suburbs. All that succession and repetition of massed humanity. All those vile bodies. And now a party in a mental hospital...
