Two retirees decide to extend their vacation beyond the usual date, near a lake where they own a villa. From that moment on, everything becomes hostile: the butcher stops delivering meat, there is no milk, their electricity is cut off, and their car is sabotaged. Don't we want to show them that when your time is up, on vacation or in life, it's not a good idea to linger and that you have to disappear?

Larry, who is awaiting a large inheritance, lives with his uncle who hopes to receive part of the hefty sum. He meets another specimen of its kind, weak, lazy and eager to show off, who lives on the hooks of an elderly woman. The two thugs sympathize and cause, by game, a fatal accident. From perverse games to silly games, they enter a deadly spiral.

A gang of poverty-ridden juvenile delinquents progress from petty theft to hard crime, but a kindly judge manages to set most of them on the right path after they are finally apprehended.
