In the story of 'High-Rise', set in 1975 London, a young doctor moves into an architectural marvel that houses London's elite upper class. The tower block begins to suffer from power outages and other malfunctions, leading to a descent into chaos among its residents. Drugs, drink, debauchery, murder, mayhem, and misogyny take over as class struggle becomes all too real.
