Ask a silly question... get a scary answer.  Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction...
A young film maker sets out to make a doco’ about "urban eccentrics", the unique characters he imagines the city to be full of.  But in reality, his interview subjects are less than fascinating.  People living in ordinary urban banality are, it turns out, rather ordinary and banal. 
His luck seems to be changing when he meets a chatty caretaker with a vividly sadistic imagination.  But something is not quite right...  has he bitten off more than he can chew?
