Synopsis

Daniel is unsettled when his Grandpa Green moves in after Granny Green's mysterious death. Grandpa's unkempt appearance and mean demeanour are unsettling, but his obsession with strange, menacing plants is even more disturbing. When Auntie Lorna and her dog Stanley visit, tensions rise. After Stanley disappears, leaving only a slime-covered collar near Grandpa's prized plant, the Bodigulpa, Daniel suspects something sinister. As Auntie Lorna also vanishes, Daniel realises there's more to Grandpa and his plants than meets the eye.
