Summary:

"Home from college, Jeffrey Beaumont makes an unsettling discovery: a severed human ear, lying in a field. In the mystery that follows, by turns terrifying and darkly funny, writer-director David Lynch burrows deep beneath the picturesque surfaces of small-town life. Driven to investigate, Jeffrey finds himself drawing closer to his fellow amateur sleuth, Sandy Williams, as well as their person of interest, lounge singer Dorothy Vallens -- and facing the fury of Frank Booth, a psychopath who will stop at nothing to keep Dorothy in his grasp" --Container.
