David Cronenberg directs this tale of a man nicknamed Spider who is released from an asylum. The man then goes to a shelter for mentally ill people and then he begins to recall the events that brought him to where he is today. Remembering things through often times surreal scenes, Spider watches himself as a child who believes that his father killed his mother and replaced her with a drunken barfly. Spider's final realization of what he did as a child is the twist that will break him down and send him back to the asylum.
