A transplanted Wall Street trader falls prey to a pair of outwardly amiable L.A. cannibals, and attempts to turn his hungry captors against one another in this darkly comic thriller. Richard Reubens (Ross McCall) made a killing on Wall Street, and now he's been transferred to sunny California. In desperate need of some wheels to get around town, he answers an ad for a vintage mustang, and winds up at the home of Everett (Jude Ciccolella) and Glory Hutchins (Susan Priver). Little does Richard realize he's been lured into a trap, and that the happy couple has a secret room where they keep their guests until it's time to feast. Realizing that he has precious little hope of escaping unaided, the crafty prisoner attempts to convince Glory that Everett isn't the man she thinks he is, and that their only hope for getting out of the house alive is to work together. All the while, Everett is sharpening his knives and setting the table. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
