Arrogant judge Stefan Mortensen suffers a near-fatal stroke, leaving him partially paralyzed and confined to a nursing home. Mortensen, resistant to the staff and distant from his friendly roommate, soon comes into conflict with seemingly gentle resident Dave Crealy, who secretly terrorizes the home with a sadistic game called “The Jenny Pen Rule”; using his dementia doll as a tool of cruelty. What begins as childish torment quickly escalates into far 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.
