The death of his mother has been hard on Mark (Elijah Wood). In fact, as she lay on her deathbed, he promised her that he wouldn't let her die--a promise that he couldn't keep. Now, only a short time after the tragedy, Mark's father (David Morse) has to jet off to Tokyo to close a business deal, and Mark must spend his winter break with the family of his uncle Wallace (Daniel Hugh Kelly). While at first the prospect of two weeks in Maine is less than enticing, Mark loses much of his reticence once he meets the people he'll be staying with, taking an instant liking to his aunt Susan (Wendy Crewson), cousin Connie (Quinn Culkin), and especially cousin Henry (Macaulay Culkin). However, after an enjoyable first few days spent mostly in the company of Henry, Mark comes to learn that his cousin has a dark and violent streak that is becoming increasingly more twisted, and that it's only a matter of time before someone dies--if they haven't already.
