Summaries

A young boy living in 1950s suburbia suspects that his parents are cannibalistic murderers.

Michael Laemie (Brian Madorsky) is a young boy living in a typical 1950s suburban home... except for his bizarre and horrific nightmares, and his continued unease around his parents. Especially his father, Nick Laemie (Randy Quaid). Young Michael begins to suspect that his parents are cooking more than just hamburgers on the grill outside, but has trouble explaining his fears to his new-found friend Sheila, or to the school's social worker.—Jeff Mercer <[email protected]>
