Synopsis
In 1935, Ruby Claire was pregnant when she saw her boyfriend brutally murdered by gangsters, and soon after, had her baby. Now Ruby's daughter is sixteen and has never spoken one word. Ruby owns a drive-in theater, and when her employees begin mysteriously disappearing, it seems possible that her silent daughter might be involved.
