Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
A fast-paced, low-budget, teen sex and action film, this foray into a dysfunctional subculture is directed by Gordon Weisenborn. The focus of the story is a seventeen-year-old young woman who runs away from home more from boredom than any valid reason. What she runs into is a problematical relationship with one of society's dropouts, a supposed artist. Meanwhile, her straight-laced boyfriend and a tough young detective are out hunting her down. Circumstances bring her around into a fractious relationship with the detective, once she is found, that threatens to be much worse than anything she knew at home.
