Mis dans un centre éducatif fermé après une agression sexuelle commise sur un de ses camarades, cet enfant, perturbé par une vie familiale perverse, rebelle à l'autorité comme à l'affection, est jugé irrécupérable par la plupart des éducateurs. Tommy se déchaîne régulièrement lors de crises d'une violence absolue et pour le personnel du centre, il constitue un danger pour la vie du groupe. Seul Gilles, son nouvel éducateur, entrevoit une lueur d'espoir dans le regard de cet enfant qui ne communique que par la violence.

L’action de ce film de fiction se passe presque entièrement à Montréal (avec de brèves scènes censées se dérouler à New York et Toronto). L'axe de l’intrigue est une discothèque, le Starlight, inspirée de la véritable discothèque le Lime Light. Ainsi, une partie du tournage s’est déroulée alentour de l’immeuble qui avait abrité le Lime Light sur la rue Stanley à Montréal (maintenant le club de danseuses nues Chez Parée et la discothèque La Boom).

The film's title character is an insurance broker who lives a quiet, unassuming existence — and who secretly keeps a 10-year-old boy called Wolfgang in his soundproof basement. He sexually abuses the boy, but they otherwise have somewhat of a father–son relationship. In the evenings, after Michael locks the door and closes the blinds, Wolfgang is allowed into the living room for dinner and to watch TV. When in hospital after an accident, Michael is in a hurry to be released and return to Wolfgang. When Wolfgang gets sick Michael digs a grave in the woods, in case Wolfgang dies. However, he recovers. The boy writes a letter to his parents, to be mailed by Michael, but Michael does not send it and lies to Wolfgang, saying his parents don’t want him back.

Au milieu des années 70, le concierge de l'orphelinat religieux pour garçons Saint-Vincent à Terre-Neuve est à l'origine d'une enquête de police qui révèle que de nombreux enfants y sont victimes de sévices corporels et sexuels. Les frères incriminés sont simplement relevés de leurs fonctions, la collusion entre la hiérarchie catholique et différents membres du gouvernement ayant abouti au classement de l'affaire. Quinze ans plus tard, un inspecteur rouvre le dossier et le gouvernement nomme une commission d'enquête. Les enfants abusés, devenus des adultes traumatisés, viennent enfin témoigner publiquement de leur calvaire.
