Description:

Larry Donner, a struggling author with a bitter past involving an overbearing ex-wife, finds solace in teaching a writing workshop. Amidst his students is Owen, a young man tormented by his own controlling mother. As they bond over shared frustrations, Owen stumbles upon a Hitchcock masterpiece that uncannily parallels their lives. Driven to extremes, he propositions Larry: if the author agrees to eliminate his oppressive mom, Owen will take care of Larry's ex-wife. Caught off guard by Owen's impulsiveness, Larry tries to diffuse the situation, only to realize that Owen is already setting the stage for their grim pact to become a reality. This dark comedy unravels as their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, exploring themes of revenge and the dangerous dynamics within complex familial relationships.
