Synopsis

Writer-director Hal Hartley's first feature – shot in less than 12 days in his backyard for a mere $200,000 – is a dry and dark comedy about the dangerous undercurrents that exist below the surface of normal middle class existence. An ex-con (Robert Burke) who could be a thief, a mechanic, a priest or a mass murderer (depending on who you listen to) arrives back in his hometown. His arrival has an impact on dysfunctional, bright teenager Audrey (Adrienne Shelly) who finds herself inexplicably drawn to this interesting and possibly dangerous man.
