A once-promising artist finds his creative flame reignited by a misfit with a gruesome sleepwalking habit in this ghoulish horror comedy. Years ago, Lars (Thure Lindhardt) had a promising career as an artist. But these days his inner-palette is all dried up. Relegating himself to failure, Lars takes a job teaching at a second-string art school in a small Canadian town. It's there that Lars strikes up an unusual friendship with Eddie (Dylan Smith) -- an enormous mute whose nocturnal strolls typically end in bloodshed and cannibalism. Once again inspired to pick up a paintbrush after learning Eddie's dark secret, Lars experiences an intense crisis of conscience upon realizing that his newfound creative streak is somehow directly tied to his new friend's taste for human flesh.
