The charming, enigmatic Mr. Sloane arrives to rent a room from Kath, a lonely, delusional landlady, in the junkyard house she shares with her declining father. A handsome opportunist, Sloane quickly ingratiates himself, entering into seductions offered by both Kath, and her estranged brother Ed, who soon employs Sloane as his driver.

Sloane's past misdeeds and dueling affections within the family soon collide, leading to a desperate act that proves the limit of his charms, and reveals the ruthless and cunning strategies that Sloane's 'victims' will engage in to preserve their unique arrangement.

Directed by Eric C. Engel and featuring Sandra Shipley, Nigel Gore, Dafydd Rees, and Jack Cutmore Scott as Mr. Sloane.

Approximate running time: 2 hours, 30 minutes with one intermission. Recommended for adult audiences only.
