Blue Velvet

Jeffrey Beaumont, a college student, returns to Lumberton, a seemingly peaceful town in North Carolina, because his father has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. While walking home, he cuts across a grassy lot and stumbles upon a human ear. Jeffrey can't ignore the discovery. He puts it in a paper bag and takes it to the police station, where he's helped by Detective John Williams, his neighbor. The visit raises a question the young man can't stop thinking about: who lost that ear, and how is it connected to a place that, on the surface, seems calm and free of secrets.
