Peter K.’s battles with the state force him to face his most fearsome and unpredictable opponent: himself. After the death of his mother, Peter K. is threatened with eviction from her home where he cared for her. He struggles to defend his refuge from his estranged sister, the city government, and finally, armed po- lice. His conspiracy theories and writings spiral into a violent reality, making him a renegade celebrity. His growing fear and solitude bring on childhood nightmares, while his court battle reveals a dark family past.
I nemici di Peter K. lo costringono ad affrontare il suo avversario più temibile e imprevedibile: se stesso. Dopo la morte di sua madre, Peter K. è minacciato di sfratto dalla casa dove l’ha accudita. Lotta per difendere il suo rifugio da sua sorella, dalla quale si è allontanato, dal comune e infine dalla polizia armata. Le sue teorie complottiste e i suoi scritti diventano realtà, rendendolo una celebrità ribelle. La sua crescente paura e la sua solitudine fanno risorgere incubi infantili, mentre la sua battaglia in tribunale rivela un oscuro passato familiare.
