     Debbie Rochon stars as Madam Won Ton, a former brothel owner, who was involved in a wild and drug-filled night thirty years ago. The drug-induced incident left Madam Won Ton pregnant. With no desire to let the child go, she decides to switch careers.
     Today, despite having converted her brothel into a fully functioning Chinese restaurant, the Won Ton family faces the animosity and scorn of outsiders. However, social scorn is the least of Madam Won Ton's concerns as the mother of two is faced with a greater challenge: her adult daughter has a cannibalistic parasitic twin growing in her belly.
      When the fetus is removed, it's not only alive but its mutated umbilical cord leads the way from initially innocent mischievous behavior to what soon becomes a horrific, gory nightmare. The carnage soon leads to a showdown between the Won Tons and their grotesque creation. Can the Madam protect her family from this baby? Or is it too late? Have their futures been sealed thanks to the release of Won Ton Baby?

     A horror-comedy in the spirit of the 80s B-movie horror films, Won Ton Baby! not only features one of the most recognizable actresses of the genre in Debbie Rochon, but also stars horror veterans Lou Martini, Jr. (Spiker, The Sopranos), Suzi Lorraine (Knock, Knock, Rise of the Ghosts), and Gunnar Hansen (Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Hell Block 13). From an Asian-themed brothel to a menacing umbilical cord, Won Ton Baby! offers a twistedly humorous exploration of love, identity, and the taboo.
