A 10-year-old boy in 1950s suburbia grows increasingly anxious around his seemingly perfect parents. He becomes convinced they are raising him on a diet of human flesh brought home from work by his mortician father, but struggles to convince anyone of his theory. Black comedy, starring Bryan Madorsky, Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt and Sandy Dennis.

Michael is a young boy living in a typical 1950s suburbanite home... except for his bizarre and horrific nightmares, and continued unease around his parents. Young Michael begins to suspect his parents are cooking more than just hamburgers on the grill outside, but has trouble explaining his fears to his new-found friend Sheila, or the school's social worker.
