Knives is a surreal drama detailing a door-to-door knife salesman's encounter with a Kelsey Frye, a housewife on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Kelsey reluctantly agrees to watch the Salesman's cutlery presentation tempted by the promise of a hacksaw that will give her access to her husband's secret lock box. Unbeknownst to Kelsey, the Salesman has ulterior motives for being there, and soon reveals that Kelsey must kill off the part of herself that harbors jealous feelings in order to move on with her life.
