Poison mixes three stories - 'tales of transgression and punishment' - in different styles. In the mock TV documentary, 'Hero', a Long Island housewife tells of how her seven year-old son shot his father and then ascended to heaven. His neighbors, schoolmates, teachers and social workers are interviewed. The second story in the style of a low budget fifties horror films has a doctor hideously transformed by a liquid of his own creation which he accidentally switches with a cup of coffee. 'Homo,' the third story, is a lush pastiche of Genet's Miracle of the Rose, detailing a doomed and brutal prison romance.
