CGiii Comment

To date, the only contribution that Kartch has given - which is a shame because this is accomplished and deliciously funny.

Just goes to show what good writing is capable of...make more films, Mr Kartch.

The(ir) Blurb...

Zen is cutting the grass of a local family when the mother of the house comes home. She entices him inside and begins to seduce him in order to be "surprised' by her husband in order to bring a fight to the surface. However they are surprised by her son, who Zen used to bully at school, and then her husband. As the fight over secrets starts, many secrets and infidelities are exposed for all.
