Confined to a secluded rest home and trapped within his stroke-ridden body, a former Judge must stop an elderly psychopath who employs a child's puppet to abuse the home's residents with deadly consequences.
'The Rule of Jenny Pen' tells the story of Stefan Mortensen (Geoffrey Rush), a former judge who suffers a stroke and is confined to a nursing home, where he becomes the target of a manipulative and sinister fellow resident named Dave Crealy (John Lithgow), who uses a seemingly harmless baby doll called Jenny Pen to terrorize and control the other residents, exploiting his facade of dementia to inflict psychological abuse and torment upon them, forcing Stefan to confront his own powerlessness and fight back against the insidious control of Jenny Pen in this secluded and vulnerable environment.
