Glenn McQuaid’s body-horror story makes family wealth part of a struggle over Boyd’s future.
Jacqueline Grayson can pay for her son’s rehabilitation, and she wants that power to shape the life he leads afterward. The Restoration at Grayson Manor places an expectation of grandchildren inside the arrangements for Boyd’s recovery. Bankside Films’ official synopsis and credits.
