A perfect, cheerful suburban homemaker is also a vicious serial killer. She mercilessly dispatches anyone who crosses her strict moral code, whether it's for wearing white shoes after Labor Day or not recycling. Her cheerful demeanor never wavers as her body count rises, and her family slowly begins to suspect that their beloved mom might be behind the town's mysterious murders.
