Evan Snow, a forty year-old watchmaker, spends his hours working from his run down home in the Hollywood Hills. His three children; Velvet, Cassius, and Azalea exist around him as they reel from the loss of their mother who is never mentioned in the film. To bury his own pain, Evan takes to sleeping with young women, and vacillates between extremely affectionate behavior toward his children and blatant neglect. After bearing witness to a particularly stinging example of their father’s womanizing with a girl named Sarah who arrives as a potential client to Evan, the children decide take matters into their own hands and rid the Snow house of Sarah and any other women that threaten to alter their peculiar yet functional family dynamic.
