1944年3月，世界在第二次世界大战中动荡不已，而与此同时，法国一个小乡村角落里的孩子们也开始了一场“战争”。 一直以来，两个相邻村庄朗维村及伟恒村的孩子们冲突不断，但这一次，他们为“战争”想出了新的主意——孩子们决定互相争抢敌方身上的纽扣、鞋带、皮带等等，谁能先令对方赤身裸体被羞辱，谁就赢了。他们将这场战争命名为“纽扣的战争”。 “纽扣的战争”只不过是孩子们的玩闹，谁赢谁输其实并不重要。而这时，村子里来了一位犹太裔少女紫罗兰（Violette），她令朗维村的“孩子王”勒布拉克（Lebrac）心动不已，只是少女究竟来自何方？她背后又隐藏着怎样的故事？。American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。
