Lara and Luella Jeffreys lead isolated lives until the night they are left alone for the first time, and Luella decides to have some fun. That evening goes horribly wrong.
After Luella wakes up in hospital, she's kept prisoner at home with her mother acting as her warden.

The local storekeeper, sensing that something's wrong, pushes her son to befriend Lara but the results of her meddling are deadly...
