action
Rye Pye suffers from his physical condition. In order to appear taller, he puts crushed beer cans in his shoes, puts on make-up and grooms his hair. He and his friends Tim Bess and Jennifer Fitch spend a camping weekend in the woods. They meet two girls. The very impulsive Rye watches them hugging tenderly and concludes that they are lesbian . Disgusted, he takes up a gun and wants to kill both girls. However, one of the two managed to flee seriously injured.
Four years after the fact, the coma survivor dies. There is no proof of Rye and his friends Tim and Jennifer are silent. Detective Charlie Schilling and his now retired ex-partner Ed Anderson decide to reopen the case. But Rye can feel safe because his friends stand by him. During the day he works for his mother in her hotel and at night he celebrates parties, sells drugs and has fun with various girls. When Katherine Wallace moves to town, his life changes suddenly. Rye begins a relationship with her and falls in love. Nevertheless, he tries to get Sally the maid to bed. But when Rye learns that his two friends Tim and Jennifer have started an affair and that Katherine has split up with him and Sally doesn't want anything to do with him, he loses control completely.
Rye is running amok . He shoots his mother, Jennifer's parents and a friend of Sally. He kidnaps Jennifer, Sally and Katherine and tries to take them to a remote, abandoned house where he spent a fun time with Tim years ago. But a couple has now moved into the house. Rye kills the man and the pregnant woman. The latter begins to cut open the abdomen to get the fetus out. Sally picks up a piece of porcelain and hits Rye on the head. He lets go of the woman and now wants to rape Sally. Then Detective Schilling and Ed Anderson burst in, who were shown by Tim where Rye is. A gun fight ensues in which Sally is killed and Rye is shot. Detective Schilling then pounces on Rye and literally beats him up.
