Gary Oldman and Theresa Russell costar in this truly bizarre story of a lonely suburban wife whose fantasies come to life in the form of a punky British guy who claims he is the son she gave up for adoption when she was just 15 years old. Of course, the fact that we see Oldman appear out of thin air one hot afternoon is a clue to the audience that everything you are watching isn't what it claims to be, but such knowledge only underscores the creepy nature of the relationship that develops between the pair. Throw in Christopher Lloyd as the husband, a man who cares more about his toy trains – model railroads, that is – than he does his wife, and a sexy Sandra Bernhard as his nurse/lover and it isn’t too long before the story goes careening off the tracks into something really weird and wonderful.
