| Someone is killing off the homeless people in Florida. Is it right? One reporter doesn't think so. Joanne Logan is very interested in why someone seems to have targeted this group of homeless friends.
The cremator is out for revenge against homeless trash whom he thinks had killed his loved one. He sometimes takes in the homeless, takes them to eat and pretends to be there friend, only to lure them into his sick game of torture and death. Joanne becomes one of them. She trades in her silk and linen and jumps into jeans and torn tees to fit in with this young crowd. She lives among them, doing the sometimes-illegal things they do, and, sometimes, enjoying herself, much to the dismay of her on-again, off-again policemen boyfriend, who is concerned not only for her sanity, but also for her safety as she digs deeper into their world. The hunter soon becomes the hunted after a pregnant member of this young homeless gang is brutally murdered and they too are now out for revenge. | ||
