Threatened with recapture after a prison escape, Martin Steckert grabs a 12-year-old kid as hostage. He proves to be named Martin, too - a quiet "good little boy" always obeying the rules, which life has given only dismal loneliness and frustration in return. The boy chooses to stay with the man even though he could run away. They flee to the idyllic peace of the older Martin's childhood home, a cabin on a lake. But the police are close behind, impatient and trigger-happy.
