The intrigue begins when Sophie and Nico leave their Parisian lives behind to move to the provinces with their 8-year-old son, Max. However, their peaceful country life is not at all what it&#8217;s cracked up to be. They&#8217;re treated as untrustworthy outsiders by everyone they meet, and their new jobs are less than fulfilling. Their sole Welcome Wagon comes in the form of their oddball and somewhat kinky next-door neighbors, Angela and Patrice. But when their son comes home with some strange bruises on his body after his first playdate with the neighbors&#8217; son, suspicions begin to mount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">French-Canadian writer\/director <b>Fred Grivois<\/b> is a graduate of New York University film school. He began working as a producer, then turned to directing music videos and commercials in 2001.
