Plot

In the eerie depths of an old house flanking the woods, lives a twisted tale of obsession and derangement. Seventeen-year-old high school senior Billy Lynch, an orphan since the age of three, has been reared under the overbearing guardianship of his Aunt Cheryl Roberts. The tragic death of his parents has left Billy under Cheryl's unwavering grip, a relationship that blossoms into a dark and sinister cocoon. Cheryl, an unmarried woman who has forsaken love, has dedicated her life solely to Billy. Their relationship, seemingly serene, harbors a lurking evil unknown to those around them. As Billy dreams of a life beyond the four walls of their home, a basketball scholarship beckoning him to the University of Denver and his girlfriend, Julie Linden, his life takes a sinister turn. Cheryl, fueled by an intense possessiveness, vehemently opposes Billy's departure. Her fragile world, haunted by the ghosts of past losses, teeters on the brink of collapse as she embarks on a deranged mission to keep Billy forever by her side. However, Cheryl's plans spiral out of control, plunging them both into a maelstrom of psychosis and violence. In a cruel twist of fate, Billy finds himself implicated in a murder, his pleas of innocence falling on deaf ears. The lead investigator, Lieutenant Joe Carlson, a man burdened by his own prejudices, is quick to point the finger at Billy, leaving him to grapple with the reality of his aunt's insanity and an unjust system. As Aunt Cheryl's madness escalates, Billy, Julie, and anyone who dares to uncover the truth find themselves in mortal danger. In a world blinded by narrow-mindedness and prejudice, the truth becomes a tangled web, leading to an outcome that no one could foresee. "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker" is a chilling exploration of the depths of obsession, the fragility of sanity, and the horrifying lengths one woman will go to keep her world intact.
