Ali Willis (Bijou Phillips) and Lisa Connelly (Rachel Miner) visit Bobby Kent (Nick Stahl) and Marty Puccio (Brad Renfro) at the sandwich shop where they work. Bobby slams Marty’s head against a refrigerator in full view of the girls. Marty, Bobby, Ali, and Lisa go out on a double date, eventually having sex. Lisa and Marty enter a relationship, and Lisa confesses that she “loves him and would do anything for him.” Lisa takes a pregnancy test and learns she is pregnant, most likely with Marty’s child (although prior to this, Bobby had raped her after he assaulted her with a belt and punched Marty into submission).

As the movie progresses, Bobby’s cruelty worsens, culminating in a graphic scene in which he anally rapes Ali while watching gay pornography. Lisa eventually plans to murder him, in part to defend Marty, who is also a victim of Bobby’s torment. Before the act, Ali and Donny (Michael Pitt) drive to a rehabilitation center to pick up Ali’s friend, Heather Swallers (Kelli Garner), who has been abusing drugs.

After much drug use and a failed attempt at murder, they hire a supposed hitman (Leo Fitzpatrick), but as the story progresses it becomes comically apparent that the “hitman” is just a tough-talking adolescent. Initially, much of the group dismisses the plan as a lark, but eventually they all come to the realization that they will go through with it, particularly when they lure Bobby out to a nearby swamp armed with knives and other weapons.

As the teenagers arrive at the swamp, the hitman tells the teenagers what to do. He has Heather give the group a signal by asking Bobby if there are any alligators in the canal. He has Donny attack him when he hears Heather’s signal; he has Marty back up Donny, and Lisa, Derek, and himself make sure that Bobby doesn’t escape. Read more
