Arrogant Judge Stefan Mortensen suffers a near-fatal stroke, leaving him partially paralyzed and confined to a nursing home. Resistant to the staff and aloof with his friendly roommate, Mortensen soon runs afoul of Dave Crealy, a seemingly gentle resident who secretly terrorizes the home with a sadistic game called “The Jenny Pen Rule” while wielding his demented doll as an instrument of cruelty. What begins as childish torment quickly escalates into much more sinister and disturbing incidents. When Mortensen’s pleas to the staff go unanswered, he takes it upon himself to end Crealy’s reign of terror.
