Synopsis: Teenage brother-and-sister Jack and Julie are faced with a quandary when their parents both die: report the deaths to the authorities, which would lead to the family's separation, or keep the truth hidden. Jack and Julie choose to stay in their home with their younger sister and brother. So... Teenage brother-and-sister Jack and Julie are faced with a quandary when their parents both die: report the deaths to the authorities, which would lead to the family's separation, or keep the truth hidden. Jack and Julie choose to stay in their home with their younger sister and brother. So they bury the bodies and shut their mouths. But as time goes on, Jack grows increasingly strange. And Julie's involvement with yuppie developer Derek doesn't help matters. Especially when Derek starts poking around the basement... where he just might find a lot more than he expected. [More]
