Stress Fiesta Films presents An Ambush Of Ghosts, a dark, brooding, hallucinatory voyage into the mind of George Bets (Stephen Dorff), a Los Angeles teenager. Ten years ago, George's innocence was shattered when he witnessed the accidental killing of his seven year old brother by their mother Irene (Geneviève Bujoid). The following decade unfolds with all the clarity and logic of a nightmare. The family has tried to carry on, but Irene's denial of losing a son has pushed her to the brink of insanity. George's ineffectual father, Bill (Bruce Davidson) is often forced to rely on restraints and sedatives to subdue his wife.

Through a twisted series of events George hooks up with a possible murderer. Although George tries to lead a normal teenager's life, he is unable to escape the haunting shadows of his past. Just like his mother, George goes over into his own internal world - a world where he can protect his brother. Mom is happy, and everyone is okay.
