In a decaying farmhouse in rural Illinois, a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness confront their ghosts in this haunting examination of the disintegration of the American Dream. At the center of the family is a ranting alcoholic grandfather, a sanctimonious grandmother who goes on drinking bouts with the local minister, and their sons, Tilden, an All-American footballer now a hulking idiot, and Bradley, who has lost one leg to a chain saw. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson none of them recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family harbors a dark secret that will leave audiences speechless after the curtain falls on this poetic drama.
