Synopsis

24-year-old Paul lives with wife Janie, baby son, and possessive crippled mother. The mother's Persian cat suffocates the baby, leading Janie to a breakdown. The mother hires Monique to nurse Janie, but also to alienate the couple. Whe Janie catches Paul and Monique together, she stumbles over the cat, and falls to her death down the stairs. Paul goes insane, stabs Monique and drowns his mother in the cat's milk.
