You Don’t Choose your in-laws…
A young man meets his girlfriend's family for the first time.
John is looking to propose to his long-term girlfriend Lisa, but before doing so, he needs to get the approval of her older, conservative parents. However, when he arrives at their house for the first time, he finds out that Lisa’s father, Javier, happens to be tied to a tree and he’s been there for years on end. Surrounding the tree are the bloody clothing of previous men Lisa brought home for the first time.
In order to get the family’s approval, John has to answer any and all questions that Javier may have as honestly as possible or else...
