Plot

The plot centers on a psychopath who is on a violent spree as he randomly stalks and invades the homes of suburban women whom he considers to be whores. His modus operandi is to break in, terrorize, rape, and murder his victims while recording their pleas and his crimes on a portable tape recorder.

One day, Nancy, a young and pretty housewife, accepts a ride from a stranger, unaware that he is a stalker who has been following her for some time. She manipulates his emotions to stay alive and kill him. [4] [5]
