A high school is being terrorized by a crazed axe murderer in this tongue-in-cheek slasher film. Though the school's resident nutcase (Donovan Leitch) is the obvious suspect, one compassionate classmate (Jill Schoelen) isn't so sure. The girl tries to help her fellow student prove his innocence, but in the process, her own boyfriend (Brad Pitt) begins to look more and more suspicious.
