Wake

Sebastian (Oscar-winner Martin Landau) sits hunched over a typewriter, typing out his demons. As he types, we're transported to a time he has suppressed, a time when, after years of separation, he and his three brothers were reunited: As their dying mother lies motionless upstairs, two sets of brothers with opposing plans collide: one plan: to end their mother's suffering; the other: to search for their father's insurance money. Kyle (Gale Harold of "Queer as Folk"), the youngest brother, grapples with his sanity. Sebastian has a deadly plan. The other two brothers -- Raymond, an escaped convict (Blake Gibbons of "General Hospital") and his sidekick Jack (John Winthrop Philbrick) -- descend upon the house with party girls (Dusty Paik and Rainer Judd), guns and booze in tow. Buttons are pushed, substances get abused and plans go awry and chaos ensues. At the peak of this emotionally raw and darkly humorous evening, the games start to intensify dangerously. Kyle turns the tables on Raymond and Jack, beating them at their own game if only for a moment, but it may be too late. What brings them all back together will tear them apart as this dysfunctional family reunion soon turns into a wake that shakes the survivors to the core.
