A funny, frightening and surreal meditation on childhood trauma, House of Gold explores American dreams of "whiteness," patriarchal failure, and the cannibalistic nature of celebrity: all through the eyes of JonBenet Ramsey. A lost little girl is brought back to a house, very much like the one she grew up in, by a strange Man and Woman, who have recently lost (or misplaced) their own child. While negotiating with the bizarre characters that inhabit this home, she befriends a surly, lonely neighborhood boy. The children form an awkward friendship, in an attempt to survive the increasingly menacing forces threatening them from inside their own homes.
