The film centers on a school teacher who suffers a mental breakdown after being harassed and attacked by a group of her students, driving her into a homicidal rage.

As they turn around and pass by the shack, Brooke throws a bucket of wet mud at them, causing him to lose control of his motorcycle, and both are killed when they are impaled on nearby fenceposts.

Eighteen years later, Brooke lives alone in her childhood home, and is haunted by the deaths she caused as a child, which are now considered unsolved murders.

The next day, Jon-Jon goes to pick up his new waver classmate Queenie at her home to attend the football game, where they meet with Dickens and their prankster friend, Smiler.

Dickens devises a nebulous revenge prank against Brooke, and brings his friends to the marsh where the young couple were killed eighteen years prior.

Jon-Jon regains consciousness and returns inside the house, where he finds an injured Dickens bound to a wall, where Brooke is preparing to perform a live autopsy on him.

Armed with the butcher knife, Dickens leaps on top of her, and is impaled with a firepoker she is wielding; Brooke's throat is slashed in the process.

[1] Richard Harrington from The Washington Post gave the film a negative review, writing, "Even within the limited expectations of the horror genre, it's not particularly satisfying, since the chills are all on the cheap.

"[3] Cavett Binion of AllMovie was unimpressed by the film, calling it a "routine slasher-thriller", though one that "deviates slightly from the standard formula by way of a fairly intelligent script.
