For those who haven’t seen the movie, that description is the *background detail* for the main character.
What the movie is *about* is that on the day of his elopement, he discovers that the sweet, elderly maiden aunts who raised him are Angel of Death-style serial killers and he has to run around trying to make the killings stop without getting his aunts caught and keeping it a secret from his new wife while he’s supposed to be packing for his honeymoon.
