[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A young married couple, Celia and David (Meredith Monroe and Matt Keeslar), move into a new home and meet their seemingly venerable neighbor Harold (George Wendt). There is no indication that Harold is in fact a psychotic killer who has created a family using the skeletons of his former victims. His family consists of a wife, mother, and children, all of whom Harold seems to believe are fully alive. He dresses them in clothing, moves them around the house, and talks with them as if they can talk back. There is also the hint that he replaces family members when he finds a new victim.

He sets his eyes on Celia, who has a secret of her own: years ago, Harold killed her and David's daughter, and they have been tracking him down for years. They lure him into a trap and enact revenge.
