PLOT
The sudden death of an inventor leaves his greatest creation unfinished: Edward, the inventor's creation, is an uncommonly gentle man that is left to live with scissors for hands. For years, Edward had to live alone in isolation in a lonely mansion upon a high hill... That is until a kind lady named Peg came to the mansion in hopes of selling Avon. When Peg finds Edward, she decides to take him home with her to Suburbia. Living in this new environment is a totally new experience for Edward; he is welcomed into the community at first, but complications soon begin to rise.
