SYNOPSIS:
OTIS is a darkly comic story of suburban America gone haywire. Five girls have already been found dismembered, and the police are no closer to figuring out who did it than they were after the first. In the midst of this killing rampage, Riley Lawson (Ashley Johnson), goes missing. When her desperate parents, Will and Kate (Stern and Douglas), are contacted by her kidnapper, a useless and ineffectual FBI Special Agent (Jere Burns) takes charge of the case.
However, from deep within the psychopathic subterranean world created by her abductor Otis (Bostin Christopher), Riley turns the tables on her tormentor, manages to escape, and to contact her parents. Meanwhile, fed up with the inability of the FBI to find the abductor, Will, Kate and Riley’s brother, Reed (Jared Kusnitz), decide to take matters - and justice - into their own hands. However, when Otis’ brother, Elmo (Pollak), shows up unexpectedly, the Lawsons find themselves mired in one of the more unusual and macabre consequences of vigilantism.
