What do Mark Twain, Thomas Wolfe, Andy Warhol, Jimi Hendrix, and Sid Vicious have in common? All of them were guests at the Chelsea, the mythical hotel that hosted ten out of every ten personalities from the world of art in New York, in search of fame and glamour. To assimilate something of the decadent atmosphere of the rooms, two young poets, Grace and Audrey, decide on a season at the Chelsea together with the phantoms from the past. After all, it has been some time since Arthur Miller, William Burroughs, and Tenessee Williams could be seen in the halls. On the same floor as the twosome, Bud, a writer, is on one more of his binges, all the meanwhile promising he will write an 800-page book inspired on two muses: Greta, his wife, and Mary, his mistress. Together with other eternal guests, from the past and from the present, they make up an exotic community, intimately connected by their dreams, by loneliness, and by pain. Grace and Audrey are to discover that the Chelsea never forgets those who have passed through its doors. And that they never again truly leave.
