Synopsis

When ailing Judge Mortensen suffers a near
fatal stroke, he’s placed into rest home care.
Recuperating in isolation, Mortensen refuses
to cooperate with staff or integrate into
the community. The situation grows worse
when he discovers an aging tyrant covertly
tormenting members of the community
with a child’s puppet ‘Jenny Pen’. Dave
Crealy has long enjoyed abusing his fellow
residents in secret and soon turns his focus
on the vulnerable new arrival. As the assaults
escalate a diagnosis of onset dementia leaves
Mortensen’s pleas to staff ignored. But when a
series of fatal accidents plague the community,
the disillusioned lawmaker is forced to take
matters into his own hands and put an end to
‘The Rule of Jenny Pen’.
