Synopsis

Liz (Sarah Manninen) and Jack (Peter Stebbings) are a seemingly average couple that have moved into a new house in the hopes of rekindling their failing marriage. This effort is made more difficult by their troubled daughter Angie (Arcadia Kendal) and an unhappy mother-in-law (Barbara Gordon) that's determined to find fault in everything the couple does. When the family hears about a potential serial killer in the neighborhood, things begin to grow tense and they begin to suspect everyone around them- especially their strange neighbor Geoffrey (Dmitry Chepovetsky).
