Sarah (Julia Ormond) and her eight year old son Tim (Even Bird) were returning home from the movies when they made the fateful mistake of stepping into a taxi driven by depraves psycho Bob (D'Onofrio), who brutally murders the terrified mother before chain the young boy in his basement, and making him an unwitting accomplice to murder. Each time Bob kills, Evan is forced to clean up every last trace of evidence. When Evan repeatedly tried to escape, Bob renames him Rabbit, and locks him up with just enough chain that he can move through the house with no hope for escape. Over the course of the next few years, Bob shapes Rabbit (played as a teen by Eamon Farren) into the perfect killing machine. Later, when the time comes for Rabbit to embrace the life of a serial killer, he realizes that his may be his last chance to strike back at the madman who made his life a living hell.
