 It looks like 1950s suburbia: kids at play outdoors, an ice cream truck, detached homes with liquor cabinets and Danish modern furniture. A boy watches a strange man get out of a convertible and go into the boy s house to talk to his mom. The man is selling a home-alarm system, and that s not all mom is buying. She also buys his line, and soon he s moved in. But something isn t right, the lad s silent alarm keeps going off, even though the man treats the boy like a son, hosts barbeques for the neighbors, and brings a smile to mom s face. When the boy sees the man going through mom s jewelry, he knows he must do something. But what can he do?
