'In a quiet neighbourhood on a dangerously stormy night, brash insurance salesman Henry Crumb invades the home of the reclusive Ernest and his mysterious companion Myra. Although Ernest seems like the perfect patsy, Henry's sales-pitch doesn't go as planned and the evening soon takes a strange and unsettling turn...
