Virginia congressman Gene York (Michael Woods) and his attorney wife Karen (Faye Grant), after numerous failed attempts to have children, go to a nun-owned orphanage where they adopt a child that they name Delia from a nun named Sister Yvonne. At first, other than Delia scratching Karen and the later heart attack of the preacher overseeing her baptism, all seems normal. But seven years later, after the Yorks adopt a rottweiler that they name Ryder, Delia (Asia Vieira) starts to display the traits and personality of an increasingly violent and manipulative sociopath. Furthermore, as the family doctor Hastings reveals that she is going through puberty, strange events begin to occur around Delia, including the death of the father of a boy whom she terrorized. Jo Thueson, a New Age practitioner hired by the Yorks as a nanny to help while Gene runs for the Senate, senses something suspicious about Delia after finding her healing crystals blackened by the girl's touch.

Two mentally ill women who are clearly suffering from not otherwise specified delusional disorders, a mother and a (grown) daughter, live together in a secluded mansion. They are in a relationship and both are recognised for their beauty. They spend their days playing perverse BDSM-related incestuous games in memory of their sadistic patriarch who, when he was still alive, raped his daughter when she was eleven, murdered several servants, and is now a mummified corpse with which the daughter is shown having sex. They occasionally kill their servants and bury their bodies in the garden.

Klaus, a former Nazi German doctor who practiced horrific experiments with children during World War II, has continued with his sick attraction for torturing and killing young boys during his exile in a remote village in Catalonia. His latest victim is a child he has tortured and later kills with a blow to the head, taking photographs of the crime. This sadistic act has been witnessed by Angelo, another of Klaus' victims, who has spied him from a window, later stealing the tortured incriminating writings and photographs of the doctor's crimes. Klaus tries to commit suicide jumping from a tower, but he survives. As a result of his failed attempt he is now unable to breathe on his own and is immobile, confined permanently in an iron lung to survive.

Film choc au style pamphlétaire, le documentaire brosse un portrait critique de la protection de la jeunesse au Québec. Il utilise des chiffres alarmants comme le nombre de signalements à la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse, les estimés du nombre de bébés victimes d’infanticide, le nombre d’enfants placés, etc. pour questionner la responsabilité citoyenne et institutionnelle face aux enfants en besoin de protection. Avec des extraits d’entrevues de victimes, il réfère à des exemples de situations graves et très médiatisés de maltraitance ou d’abus sexuels, comme ceux de Nathalie Simard ou celui du « Bourreau de Beaumont », qui a aussi fait les manchettes et qui a été l’objet d’une enquête de la Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse dans ce questionnement. Vingt-cinq ans après l’avènement de la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse, le documentaire critique le système de protection de la jeunesse pour sa grosseur, ses lourdeurs administratives et certaines de ses pratiques.
