In the 1990s, the economy in a small country town is on the downturn. When a mysterious couple moves into a local home and the once-solid relationships between the eccentric townsfolk begin to erode, it quickly becomes apparent that something is amiss. A policeman and his twin brother are consumed by tragedy, a local loafer sits around while his wife breaks her back around the house, and a pretty girl seems willing to offer her body to anyone and everyone. Later, a gold bar and a human head appear in a frozen lake, intertwining the lives of everyone in town and effectively putting an end to their quiet, unassuming lifestyle. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
