Plot summary
Ten years in prison for the murder of an elderly woman have not cured the urge to kill again. He is driven to see fear in the eyes of the people he kills. At a diner he watches two girls at the counter but does nothing in front of the other customers. In a taxi the driver grows suspicious, and he runs. He runs until he reaches a secluded house and forces his way inside. A mentally impaired man in a wheelchair is there alone and mistakes him for his father. The man's mother and sister then arrive home, and the intruder hides inside the house.
