Written and directed by Richard Ledes, this quirky drama follows Anna (the always-excellent Michelle Williams), a troubled young woman living in small-town 1950s America who decides to sign up for a lobotomy from creepy pseudo-scientist Dr. Ashton (Bill Raymond), thinking that it will relieve her depression and ennui. Icetown`s other inhabitants include Anna`s abusive gangster boyfriend Billy (Meat Loaf, of all people) and his kind, gentle employee Tom (Tim Guinee), who becomes determined to prevent Anna from destroying her frontal lobe.
