Arden (Collette), a timid downtrodden
daughter to a cruel bedridden mother (Laurie) finds the dead girl.
Rudy (Ribisi), a supermarket
employee, seeks out Arden to talk about the dead girl and serial killers.
Leah (Byrne) works at the morgue and
falls apart when she suspects that the dead girl is her long-missing sister.
Ruth (Hurt) suspects that her husband
is the killer and burns the evidence.
Melora (Harden) is the mother of the
dead girl and learns about her daughter’s dark life.
The dead girl (Murphy) struggles to
get to her little girl to give her a birthday present but doesn’t make it.
Grim and gripping, carried by a strong cast.
