โฆ Synopsis
A hijacker and his hostage escape to a very strange, very dangerous farmSince his father died, every Saturday night has been the same for Dave and his mother. She starts by talking--aimless, weird fantasies about get-rich-quick schemes that never come to anything--but finally she goes silent, and that's when Dave becomes afraid. Mom has a way of getting very close that is repellent and appealing all at once, and he's terrified of where it might lead. One Saturday, a noise outside breaks the silence. A hijacker has escaped his stolen plane with a parachute, a hundred thousand dollars in cash, and one very frightened stewardess. The thief thinks he's gotten away with it, but he doesn't know what Dave's mother will do for an easy payday--and a chance to make her son a happy man.
