Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This grim, brutal drama chronicles the terrible fate of a childless couple whose only crime was caring. The trouble begins when their barn mysteriously catches fire. Upon their return to the house, they find an adolescent having an epileptic seizure. Without a thought, they take him in, get him to a doctor, and encourage him. They have no clue that it was he who set the fire. Time passes and soon he becomes theirs. Later he sleeps with the wife and gets her pregnant. Just before she has the baby, the teen slaughters her and her husband.
