Bobby Radcliff, a brilliant, charming, boyishly handsome, and hideously twisted psychopath, is willing to star the girl in a shooting script that fulfills his taste for torture and talent for porn movies. Patrick Paige, who has already followed the trail of corpses left by Bobby, knows only too well that the girls life hangs on the flimsiest of threads.
