A man living in rural Wisconsin takes care of his bed-ridden mother, who is very domineering and teaches him that all women are evil. After she dies, he misses her, and a year later digs her up and takes her home. He learns about taxidermy and begins robbing graves to get materials to patch her up, and inevitably begins looking for fresher sources of materials. Based loosely on the true story of Ed Gein.

A lonely man’s refusal to let his domineering mother stay dead turns a quiet rural existence into a gruesome cycle of grave robbing. He uses stolen body parts to repair her decaying form, spiraling into a madness fueled by taxidermy and resentment.
