The Perfect Host

“Dinner parties are a dying art.”

John Taylor (Clayne Crawford) has just robbed a bank and needs somewhere to disappear, so he knocks on a stranger's door in Los Angeles with a story about being mugged and losing his luggage. The man who answers is Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce), who has set his table to the inch and timed the duck for 8:30. Nicholas Tomnay keeps the two of them in one house through the evening, a thief who needs a host and a host who is happy to be needed.
