Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Set in modern-day Buenos Aires, the film centers around a relationship between two emotionally-crippled roommates. Adrian LeDuc is a lonely sociopath who is forced to rent out his insane mother's room because of poor ticket sales at his revival movie theater. Jack Carney, the new roommate, appears normal enough at first but it soon becomes apparent that he is hiding something. As their friendship develops, Adrian suppresses his suspicions that Jack might be the government mercenary turned serial killer who has been terrorizing the city. The other eccentric residents of the building begin to worry as Adrian shows increasing signs that his mother's insanity may be hereditary. The shocking climax of this twisted tale of deceit, perversion, and murder reveals the darker side of the human psyche. Written by Kevin Jundt |
