Plot: Anita is a high-school girl who frequently allows random boys and men to have sex with her, and is frequently raped by her absentee mother's boyfriend. As part of a school assignment Anita takes up correspondence with a lonely young prison inmate, whose letters stir up dormant desires for violence and guns. After buying herself a firearm, Anita convinces her mother's boyfriend to teach her how to use it, and, after he rapes her again, shoots him to death and hides the body. She then sets about getting her new "boyfriend" out of jail and to her, where she slowly drags him with her on her downward spiral of sex, violence, and murder for the sake of murder.
Alternative Plot: California teen Anita Minteer (Drew Barrymore) struggles in the face of an absentee mother, her mom's abusive boyfriend, Rooney (Joe Dallesandro), and a lack of respect from her classmates. This all changes when a pen-pal school project connects her with convict Howard (James LeGros). Anita secures Howard's parole and violently squares off against Rooney after he rapes her. Soon enough, the gun-crazy teen is on the run with Howard, with his parole officer (Michael Ironside) in pursuit.
