The Details
When a family of raccoons discover worms living underneath the sod in Jeff and Nealy's backyard, this pest problem begins a darkly comic and wild chain reaction of domestic tension, infidelity and murder.
After 10 years of marriage, Jeff and Nealy Lang (Maguire and Banks) have an idyllic suburban home and a relationship on the skids. But, when a family of hungry raccoons ransacks their perfectly manicured backyard, Jeff becomes obsessed with eradicating the pests by any means necessary. Soon, the relentless rodents lead way to a battle of wits with a very meddlesome neighbour (Linney), and before he knows it, Jeff finds himself buried in an absurd mess of infidelity, extortion, organ donation and other assorted mayhem
