Overview

This is an amusing yet chilling look at an American family which is doing something about declining family values. They have a strict set of rules and, if one is broken, the other family members vote on the nature, length and severity of punishment. The voting always takes place on the night the family has steak for dinner. The most enthusiastic participant in this rite is Alan, a 16 year old bully, until he transgresses and the family votes on his punishment. Very cleverly, very deviously, Alan swings the vote in his favor and takes over the family!
