When reviled labor boss Pink Gresham (Bill Smitrovich) is found murdered, his wife Maggie (
Kathy Baker) is visited by Baston Morris (
Peter Weller). Morris claims to have killed Pink before leaving his lifeless corpse symbolically in an outhouse. Instead of leaving, Morris moves in on the backwoods widow, and the two begin a psychological game of nerves. As in the works of
William Faulkner and
Tennessee Williams, both Maggie and Morris are plagued by their past experiences and hold closely guarded personal secrets. This is David Saperstein's directorial debut. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
