Description
In a decaying rural mansion, the last generation of the inbred Merrye family lives with the inherited curse of a disease that causes them to mentally regress from the age of 10 or so on as they physically develop. Bruno, the family chauffeur, acts as their guardian and covers up their indiscretions. But when greedy distant relatives and their lawyer arrive to claim the family home, Bruno's shaky control over the children deteriorates and murder, chaos, and insanity ensue.
