A transgressive dark comedy that mines shock value and taboo subject matter—incest, senility, attempted murder—for laughs while exploring the neurotic desperation of a man caught between filial duty and romantic desire.

When New York attorney Gordon Hocheiser meets Louise Callan, the girl of his dreams, he schemes to eliminate his aging, senile mother, even though he promised his late father that he'd always take care of her. He fears that his batty mom's eccentricities will shortly lead to Louise's departure.
