Classifieds tells the story of an unhappy housewife, Grace, who has developed anti-social personality disorder. She reads announcements in the classifieds section of the newspaper to choose her murder victims. This time she observes a young, happy couple at an open house, ready to take the next step in their lives; it will be their last. The satisfaction does not last long, however, as Grace must return home and prepare dinner for her husband and son, whom she does not care for. Grace will keep killing until she is caught; at least then she will get the attention she desires.
