  A psychopathic, 13-year-old orphan Rynn (Jody Foster), lives in a large house with a "father" who never seems to be home and nobody has seen. The fact that Rynn also gets very nervous when the subject of her basement is discussed adds to the chilling mystery. Nosy neighbor Mrs. Hallet (Alexis Smith) ends up being knocked down the basement stairs when she looks for evidence of Rynn's father being at home. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hallet's pedophile son Frank (Martin Sheen) is also curious and presses Rynn for answers–all of which leads to a nasty confrontation with Rynn's boyfriend Mario (Scott Jacoby).
