Sonny Boy

“There are some secrets you can't keep chained up forever...”

A baby is found abandoned, and the couple who take him in cut out his tongue and raise him to steal. Slue (Paul L. Smith) and Pearl (David Carradine), a small-town car thief and his transgender wife, make a home with Weasel (Brad Dourif) and a doctor who patches up whatever comes in. Robert Martin Carroll leaves the boy at the center, mute, in a house where nobody ever says what is wrong.
