The Hamilton's seem to be an ordinary American family, living in a small town in Northern California and dealing with the problems of everyday life. They've also been recently adjusting to the untimely death of their parents, but since have moved on. David Hamilton, the

and realize that there are much more disturbing elements lurking below their surface of 'ordinary'
