THE CURIOUS NUMBER
- Release Date - March 9th, 2012
Rose McKillop’s virtuous life as mother and homemaker, and seventeen-year
marriage to an upstanding, decorated police officer, are safe haven from her outlandish family: sexually-unfettered sister,
Justine, a freelance writer; brother, James, always in trouble with money, prostitutes and the law; and elderly grandmother,
Marlene Burich, who raised the siblings after the cold-blooded murder of their parents three decades ago. Marlene’s
radical ideology has estranged her from Rose for twenty years.
The bitter truth is that Rose’s life is a tragic fraud. Disconnected
from her workaholic husband, sexually dissatisfied, and spiritually empty despite her religious facade, she harbors a secret
that could tear apart her marriage, and expose not only its dysfunction, but also her personal failures. In pain and desperation,
she reaches out to another man, risking everything in a sexual affair.
Rose and her siblings are abruptly reunited by a series of catastrophic events, including
Marlene’s increasingly bizarre behavior, and a brutal double-murder. In the process, Rose isn't the only family
member whose dirty secrets threaten to destroy the ties that bind.
