Synopsis

THE STORY: A seventeen-year-old boy with a gift for storytelling comes from rural Iowa to the Twin Cities in search of a new home and start in life.

Unbeknownst to them, he has idealized and seized on an educated family through an internet correspondence with their son.

He seduces each in turn, with his stories.

One of which is horrific and true.
