Invention gives Kate a pretty, childish mother, who falls in love (literally, as a result of repeated backward-flop trust exercises) with her therapist, a slightly sleazy charmer named Anton.

There is also a reckless blend of Bobbsey Twins adventure and revenge fantasies usually associated with drive-in-movie horror festivals. Would you believe that after Lila, Savannah and Tom are raped by three escaped convicts, the family's pet Bengal tiger bursts in and rips the criminals into small pieces?
