Story: A strange young man has a sinister effect on the family of a middle-aged writer.

This is a modern gothic tale about the evil that men do and the price that must be paid to make things right. This movie is a remake of Brimstone and Treacle (1976), which included Denholm Elliott in its original cast as Mr. Tom Bates. This movie also included an incredibly cool soundtrack of songs by artists like The Go-Gos, The Police, Squeeze, and an irreverently stylish 1930s little diddy called "Spread a Little Happiness", performed by Sting by himself.

Tom Bates (Denholm Elliott) is racked with guilt over causing his daughter, Patricia (Suzanna Hamilton), to be an invalid (she accidentally ran into an on-coming truck after catching him and his secretary having sex), so he reluctantly invites a young man home to dinner whom he mistakenly believes is his daughters old school friend. Mrs. Norma Bates (Dame Joan Plowright) finds their visitor, Martin Taylor (Sting), quite charming and welcomes the change in the long and arduous work of taking care of their daughter, so she invites him to stay for a few days. Mr. Bates is quite leery of Martin, but in the interest of keeping peace with his wife and trying to keep his guilt in check, he agrees to let him stay. Martin slowly exploits the Bates trust as he hatches an evil plot that will change all of their lives.
