Synopsis

On a family trip to the seaside, a father sees his daughter eating a sandwich she dropped in the sand, and remembers that a serial killer's ashes were scattered on that beach. His long-suffering wife wants to enjoy a 'normal' day out without her husband speculating on the dark side of life. Events take a bizarre turn when the family visit a run down amusement arcade where the girl claims drags a strange prize from the claw machine.
