Synopsis:
In the 1950s, a young boy loses his innocence as he uncovers the rotten underbelly of his picture-perfect town.
From afar, he observes local residents driven mad or beset by disease, both possibly due to government-sponsored radiation experiments. He also becomes entranced by his new neighbor, a young widow, and suspects she is a vampire.
The child soon fears the worst because he realizes the undead woman wants to kill his brother...
