After finding a human head in his brother’s closet, Marty fears for the safety of his family while making a desperate effort to reconnect with Steve, the protective big brother whose homicidal cravings threaten to destroy life as Marty knows it.

Leading Roles
MARTY — boy 9 to 13 years of age: shy, bullied 5th grade boy who loves horror movies; a very dramatic and challenging role that requires a boy with very naturalistic acting abilities; a showpiece of a role that could get the actor a lot of attention when we hit the festival circuit next year.
STEVE — young man 18 to 24 years of age: reclusive, confrontational with his parents; unexpectedly kind to Marty; sinking into mental illness; racist; becoming a serial killer capable of monstrous and horrific things.
MOM — woman 40 to 50: kind and gentle to Marty (her baby), hurt by the cold shoulder Steve gives her; hard working, well-meaning; horrible things happen to her in the final act; this part will involve creating a life-cast of the actor’s head.
DAD — man 40 to 55: combatative with Steve, largely ignores Marty; he shows moments of genuine sincerity, but he’s mostly disconnected from his family; horrible things happen to him in the final act; this part will involve creating a life-cast of the actor’s head.
