Electricity lines between the houses in a suburban Los Angeles neighborhood allow an unseen but powerful malevolent force to enter homes, where it begins twisting the house's wiring and everything that is plugged into it to its liking. Eventually, it begins using the home's appliances to torture the inhabitants within. In one home on a cul-de-sac, the father went crazy and began destroying his home. Now it seems to be threatening the home across the street, where an 11-year-old boy named David (Joey Lawrence) is visiting his divorced father (Cliff De Young) for the summer. David seems to know what's going on, but he can't leave until he convinces his skeptical father before they're stuck in a high-voltage death trap.

Roxanne Hart and Matthew Lawrence also appear in this 1988 eerie story written and directed by Paul Golding.
