Meet the Parents

"We're so excited to have you here in our home." My boyfriend's mother smiles at me a little too wide. His father's eyes are hard at the edges. It's like they're hiding something. But of course, I already know that...

The mother: Stay-at-home mother Marta lives in her successful husband's shadow, overlooked by him ever since her darling son Owen went to medical school. She's not about to let the beautiful Gina take Owen away from her. Marta will play nice, get Gina to trust her. And then she has a plan of her own.

The son: Owen is already certain he wants to marry Gina. She's perfect. They just have to get through this weekend and then he'll propose. Sure, his mom can be overprotective. But Owen knows why. He knows what she's hiding.

The girlfriend: Ever since purposefully running into Dr Owen Whitlock at the hospital, Gina has been playing the doting girlfriend. She didn't mean to fall for Owen's charms for real... Now she's finally meeting his parents at their sprawling, secluded home. Gina knows all about the terrible secrets this family is covering up. And she'll do anything to make sure they never find out who she really is.

By the end of the weekend, the Whitlock's beautiful house will have burned to the ground. And someone won't make it out alive...
