## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Night. Cicadas. A stray dog’s howl. 
 
FBI rookie Jo Dee Foster hunts a prolific serial killer, seeking insight from Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza, a former psychiatrist with peculiar culinary habits. Meanwhile, Jo’s girlfriend Jane, absconding with stolen cash, seeks shelter at a motel run by a very strange family.
