Although it seems like a simple and emotional story, as the scenes progress, it will transform into a suspenseful one. The official narrative features a twisted obsession and a plot that could ruin everything.
It all begins when Junior, a delusional aspiring Broadway star, develops an inappropriate obsession with his mother Misty. After orchestrating an accident that nearly kills his abusive father, Junior encourages Easy, the handsome man living in the family’s guest house, to court his mother and become her new father figure.
But when they both fall in love, Junior becomes so jealous of no longer being the center of his mother’s attention that he devises a plan to frame Easy for the murder of his father. Tension, chaos, and desperation escalate, and the bond between the three quickly derails.
