Todd Bowen, brillante ragazzo, scopre che il suo vicino di casa è in realtà un ex criminale nazista, celato sotto falso nome. Affascinato dall'ideologia, lo obbliga a raccontargli particolari sempre più shockanti, minacciando di denunciarlo alla polizia nel caso in cui si rifiuti. Il “gioco”, però, gli sfugge di mano, trasformandosi in un vortice di morbosità e insanità.
