Spoilers ahead
South Florida becomes the tense backdrop for a troubling true‑crime tale about four teens who drift into violence. In this story, Ali Willis and Lisa Connelly—two South Florida high school dropouts—befriend two local deli workers, Nick Stahl as Bobby Kent and Brad Renfro as Marty Puccio, and they all end up on a troubling double date that foreshadows a much darker road ahead. The evening unfolds in the car: Ali engages in oral sex with Bobby while Lisa and Marty, who is Marty Puccio, share a private moment in the back seat. What begins as a casual night quickly spirals as Lisa learns she is pregnant, and the frightening reality surfaces that the child’s paternity might fall to Bobby rather than Marty after Bobby brutalizes and rapes Lisa.
