The characters are like seedy relatives whom one loathes and loves-caustic embittered mom, silent spine-shattered dad, sluttish frustrated daughter. Into their midst comes Len (James Woods) the perennial innocent, scarily looking for sex at the beginning, resignedly settling in as a paying roomer...
