"Elevator" is
the story of Herschel Heisen, an elevator man from Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Over the
course of three years Herschel has developed a friendship of sorts with the tenant (Jay
Getz) of the penthouse in his Upper West Side building. Herschel attempts to
romantically involve his daughter Jillian (who despises him) with Jay. Once the
relationship between Jay and Jillian is firmly established, Jay accidently runs into an
estanged lover, Naomi Kraft. The story line follows Herschel's attempts to find out
what exactly is happening between the three young people and the results once he does.
