The bizarre death of an ordinary family man catches the attention of detectives Jorge Cabrera and Elise Alvaro. It bears an eerie resemblance to the deaths of several others-each and every corpse were found bloated with insects. Each shared one common connection: Darling Ross, a warm-hearted grandmother and five-time widow. One afternoon, Cabrera and Alvaro pay a visit to Mrs. Ross at her humble house in a cozy rural town in southern California. With her bubbly personality, Darling welcomes the two detectives into her home and fixes them a cup of coffee with a side of her delicious homemade cinnamon buns. As Cabrera and Alvaro interrogates sweet Darling, a sense of queasy unreality sets in. Then, the world around them begins to bend and twist into a living nightmare.
