Tired of watching their cute kids metamorphose into flesh-piercing, drug-using, satanic-rock-music-worshipping teenagers, the parents of small-town Cradle Bay have embraced creepy school shrink Dr. Caldicott (Bruce Greenwood), whose special brand
of therapeutic magic turns sullen, defiant youngsters into model teenagers who dress nicely, get good grades and aren't on intimate terms with the local police. Enter the Clarks, formerly of Chicago, who've lost their eldest son to suicide and want surviving children Steve (James Marsden) and
Lindsay (Katharine Isabelle) to make a fresh start and some new friends, preferably high achievers like the "Blue Ribbon" graduates ...
