Plots(1)
Desperate to keep up with the Joneses, a social-climbing Yuppie couple decide they must have a child at all costs. When biology fails them, they opt for adoption. But the freckled-faced kid they pick up at the local orphanage turns out to be a monster who, among other things, strikes up a running correspondence with an escaped serial killer. (official distributor synopsis)
