The year is 1922. A dark and stormy night, and seven year old Cathy, the daughter of a rich and powerful judge, witnesses a murder on her family’s palatial estate.
The year is 1942. Twenty years after the murder, a thunderstorm creates a mudslide on the estate that reveals a skeleton, and the handsome new gardener figures out what must have happened in the bungalow, on that stormy summer night so long ago. The gardener heads to the city, for a covert visit to Cathy’s psychiatrist, and the two villains concoct a scheme. Cathy is now a beautiful young woman, who cannot remember parts of her childhood, and who has been scarred with a tremendous fear of men. The gardener, who has always dreamed of riches, and Cathy’s psychiatrist, a wicked manipulator with a cocaine habit, plot to make her remember what happened that night, so that they can blackmail the killer. The plan is to recreate the bungalow so that it looks exactly the way it did on the night of the murder. Sinister mystery turns to dark comedy as the two villains struggle with the trials of redecorating. The snoopy housekeeper, determined to get into the bungalow and clean it, will have to be “taken care of.” The scheme goes smoothly, until the gardener falls in love with Cathy, and wants out of the plot. But is it too late? During a fierce thunderstorm, eerily reminiscent of the storm that ravaged the estate on the night of the murder, the psychiatrist drags Cathy into the transformed bungalow—and into that night of blood that scarred her psyche so many years ago. . .
