The film begins by showing a beautiful and peaceful residential area,
where a family who lives there appears to be an ideal family, happy
and prosperous materially. The husband's name is Don, and his wife's name is Mona,
they have two children named Allison and Andrew. In this family, Mona dominates
with her overbearing attitude and whatever she says must be followed. Their husband and wife
relationship is very rigid and everything must be programmed according to Mona's will. The days they
go through are far from cheerful or intimate in the way that a healthy family should be.
In fact, Mona has an excessive insecurity about her children, where she requires them
to always be winners in everything, even if it must be achieved in a bad way. Any form of
violation or disobedience will be fatal, and they will get serious punishment from her.
Don is actually quite depressed and not happy with this situation, coupled with
Mona who often refuses to make out with him. This is because Mona is someone with high aspirations,
and she is also someone who meticulously schedules everything, including the time available for her
to make out with Don. Don chooses to be patient and accept the circumstances of his life on
the pretext of keeping the peace in his family. When it comes to their professional lives,
Don works as a manager in a fairly large furniture store. This shop was built with
funds provided by Mona's parents, which means that Mona is technically the owner of the store.
One day, the store holds a recruitment for new employees, and a woman named Dusty shows up for an
interview at Don's shop. Don appears to have been attracted to Dusty from the moment they first met.
Plus, Don's employee and neighbor named Les, expresses his joy by simply telling
Don to accept the woman's application. He also explains that they need something to look at to
take their minds off their stressed marriage. Meanwhile, there is a man appears to have just
finished killing someone. He then watches the tv commercial for Don's furniture shop which
is currently airing. It turns out that this man and his gang have begun to follow Don and his
wife's whereabouts and activities. Don, on the other hand, continues to spend boring days with
his wife, and one of the gang members has been following him around to find out where he lives.
Until one day, he finally manages to get away from it all by having an affair with Dusty.
It is at this point which their relationship begins to deepen and become more intimate.
Don and Mona's relationship becomes even less interesting as a result of this.
Everything goes smoothly for Don at first, and he is able to keep his affair hidden from Mona.
Until one day, when Don's family is holding a party, Dusty tells a really bad news for Don
that she is expecting his child. As a result, Don is completely taken aback to know about this,
since Dusty has taken pregnancy design pills before.
Dusty also refuses to abort the pregnancy because she really wants to have children.
Plus, she keeps urging Don to take responsibility for their wrongdoing. Don then goes to meet
Les and asks him for some advice about Dusty's pregnancy. As most people would do, Les suggests
to Don that he give Dusty some money in exchange for her silence and for her to leave Don's life.
Les believes that women such as Dusty are the types of gold diggers,
who have a proclivity for blackmailing well-established men like Don. And what Les said is actually true
because it turns out that Dusty is a lover of a gangster named Murphy, the man we saw
earlier. In other words, Murphy assigns Dusty the task of luring well-to-do men so that they
can take some of their wealth. However, this time it seems that Dusty really likes her target.
Long story short, Don follows Les' advice and he then gives Dusty thirteen thousand dollars.
Don asks her to put an end to their relationship and not to see him again in the future.
But Dusty refuses because she feels like she is being treated like a whore. At this point,
Don is really worried that his mistake would destroy his household, the loss of his children,
and of course Mona would act out of control. Worse yet, the extortion does not stop there
because 13,000 dollars is not enough money for Murphy. So he now orders Dusty to ask
Don for more money, and this time he asks for a larger sum of twenty-five thousand dollars.
The only problem is that Don has absolutely no money left and is baffled as to what he should
do about Dusty, who continues to blackmail him. Since he has no other choice, Don finally decides
to take the risk of being honest with his wife and tell Mona everything he has done.
Surprisingly, Mona looks a bit calm and responds in a way that
Mike doesn't anticipate. Instead, she asks whether Don still loves her,
to which Don responds that he loves her and their children very much, and would
do anything to correct his mistake.
Well, it won't be that simple as Don will still have to deal with his wife's rage,
where Mona begins to bring up everything she's done, as well as all the opportunities she
and her parents have provided him. This is the point at which Mona begins to reveal the darker
side of herself by ordering Don to kill Dusty, in order for her to stop extorting Don's money.
Mona asserts anyone who dares to disturb the integrity of his family, then those person will die at her
hands. Dusty then calls Don for the 20,000 dollar cash which Mona tells him to accept.
At this point, Mona gives two choices, either divorce which means Don will lose his wife and children, or the
second choice is to follow Mona's instructions to kill Dusty.
He is now thinking how he could possibly have the
heart to kill someone, but on the other hand, he is also afraid of losing the family he loved.
The following day, Mona continues to put pressure on her husband to commit the murder,
before Dusty will comes to the office at night to collect the money. Plus, she's even prepared
a high dose drug that will be used to finish off Dusty. Mona is also angry to see Dusty is afraid,
and convinces him to fight the people who are trying to destroy their family. Don who has no
other option, is forced to follow Mona's plan, and he begins to think of a way to start the action.
Later that day, Dusty then comes and is greeted by Don, by giving her a drink that has been drugged.
As Dusty drinks a glass of it, she starts to feel strange seeing Don behaving in a weird way.
Soon after, Dusty eventually realizes that she has been drugged,
and collapses as the chemical in her body starts to react.
Mona then appears and tells him to place Dusty into the trunk.
As they get home, Don is still can't bear his fear to begin their next action.
and he is shocked to see that Dusty is still alive
Mona,however, laughs to see this and tells Don to go get the hammer. Don then gives the
hammer to Mona, but instead, Mona tells Don to do it to correct his mistake. Don who is afraid explains
that he is really unable to do so, so Mona tells him to open the trunk and lets her do it.
After that,
Dusty's body is taken into their garage for Mona to begin dismembering Dusty herself.
Don can't bear to see all of that and rushes to the toilet, where he only surrenders to
everything that's going on and throws up. Murphy, on the other hand, is growing suspicious because
Dusty has been missing for several days with no word from her. The next day, when Don comes
home from work, he is panicked after seeing Murphy talking to his son outside the house.
It turns out that Murphy tells Don to meet him, where he wants to inquire about Dusty's whereabouts.
When Murphy meets Don at a club, Murphy immediately asks where Dusty has disappeared.
At this point, Don can still tell the lie that he gave Dusty the money and that he has no idea
where Dusty has disappeared to. Since Dusty has brought the money, Murphy pushes Don to give him
20,000 dollars by tomorrow or else he will do bad things to his wife and childs. After the meeting,
Mona tells Don that they must dig Dusty up again and go to the house of Dusty and the gangsters.
At this time, Mona has a plan to deal with the gangsters during the night Don and Murphy
will meet again in a club. As she arrives in front of the house, Mona proceeds to break into
the gangster's house, and no one is there since they are already in the club. Mona then places
something in the refrigerator, which turns out to be Dusty's body parts, including the part of
her head that she had beheaded some time ago. Not long after, one of the gangsters came with
a woman, and Mona quickly kills them with a kitchen knife she took from the house.
Once Mona has left the house, the guy who is still alive calls Murphy and tells him about
what happened at their house. Mona, on the other hand, takes the undercover phone and
calls the police to report the disturbance coming from Murphy's house. As soon as Murphy hears this,
he rushes to the house, where he is shocked to see all the chaos that had been done by Mona in his house.
He also discovers the remains of Dusty's body, which Mona had placed in the refrigerator.
It is at this moment that Murphy finally realizes that he has been trapped by Mona, with all the
evidence of murder that points to him. At the same time, the police arrive and his man is
shot to dead by them. But Murphy manages to sneak away to beneath the house through a secret door.
One night, Don who is curious about all his wife's doing, tries to ask Mona about her past. He thinks
that Mona may have experienced a traumatic or tragedy event as a child, that has influenced
her current behavior. With Don's question, Mona's reaction takes an unexpected turn and becomes very
emotional. Mona says that her parent’s are perfect and have never hurt her. She then swears that
if Don dares to ask that question again, she will murder and mutilate him just as she did to Dusty.
After all of that incident, Don is now forced to live a life full of paranoia and worry after
hearing the threats from Mona earlier. Mona's madness is also getting worse, where she's
planning to get rid of Les' son, who has a large physic and often beats her son in all games.
The following day, the police came to Don's house and informs him of the death of his
employee named Dusty. The police also says that they managed to catch the culprit
but one of them is still missing. But that’s not the point,
the point is that someone reported that Don had been to the lodge at Dusty's house. Therefore,
Don eventually has no choice and confesses to the police that he was having an affair with Dusty.
And Dusty's boyfriend asked Don to pay for it so that Don's actions wouldn't be exposed to Mona.
The cop understands Don's situation and sarcastically says that he doesn't want to find
another dead body if Mona finds out. During their conversation, a neighbor's dog suddenly enters their
garage, and causing Mona to become irritated. Mona gives them such a warning of what she will do,
if she catches the dog on her property again. During Andrew's birthday celebration,
Don discovers that the neighbor's dog has been killed and placed in the refrigerator.
They are also having a good time with a friendly competition between Andrew and Les' son, but
Mona notices that Andrew is struggling to win the game. As a result, she becomes angry and says that
the competition is unfair because she thinks Les' big son has been taking steroids. Don
also sees Mona insulting the child's mother with chron's, and Mona wishes her to shit herself to
death. The moment Allison notices that her brother is having difficulty, she quickly grabs the stick
and smashes the Unicorn until it is crushed. We can see that Allison is Mona's favourite child,
and Mona always treats her better than Andrew. Seeing how his son is treated makes Don sad,
and he believes that in the future, his daughter Allison will become more and more
like Mona.
Finally, he decides that it
is time to end all of madness from his wife. He then shut off the electricity in his home
garage lamp to create an electrical short that would result in a spark.
After doing some test, he opens the gas cylinder valve to let the gas escape and fill the garage.
He then asks his wife to go to the fridge at garage and get him some beef,
while Don will check on the grill. As Mona is making her way to the garage,
Don quickly gets out of there and walks away as if nothing is going on.
Meanwhile, Mona is in the garage, and when she opens the lamp, an electric spark appears. As a
result of the spark, the garage which had been filled with gas explodes, and killing Mona.
After it is all over, Don is now living in a new house while enjoying the treasure left
to him by his wife. He and his children are now living happily without any rules from his wife,
including the fear of being killed by her. But the movie isn't over yet,
because the police haven't found Murphy, the person who ran away from the house earlier.
We can see that Murphy is following Don's car from behind, and the film
ends during the credits with a sounds like Don has been shot twice by Murphy.
