Kath encounters the manipulative Sloane in a cemetery and invites him to be a lodger. Her closeted brother, Ed, forbids it, but Sloane seduces both Kath and Ed. Their father recognizes Sloane and threatens to expose his murderous past.
Sloane, a handsome, sexy and completely amoral young man, joins Kath's household as a lodger and proceeds to manipulate her and her brother, Ed. He is recognized by Kemp (Dadda) as the murderer of Kemp's former employer, whereupon Sloane murders Kemp. Sloane's "just desserts" are not what one would expect.—Noble Bell <nbell@cc.memphis.edu>
