Todd, a high school student, discovers a Nazi war criminal named Dussander living in his neighborhood under an assumed name. Rather than turn Dussander over to the authorities, Todd negotiates a deal with Dussander to tell him "what it felt like" during the Holocaust in exchange for Todd's silence. Todd becomes an "apt pupil" of the horror stories Dussander tells and the two enter into a bizarre relationship of mixed hate and friendship culminating when Todd helps Dussander cover up a vicious murder.
