A dark psychological slasher that uses dental trauma and infidelity as catalysts for a descent into murderous psychosis.

Dr. Alan Feinstone has everything: a beautiful wife and a successful career in dentistry. However, when he discovers his wife's affair, he realizes that behind every clean, white surface lies the stench of decay.
