- 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’.
