Summary

A drifter named Henry roams Chicago committing random, brutal murders with cold detachment. When his prison buddy Otis moves in along with Otis's sister Becky, Henry draws Otis into his killings while Becky, fleeing an abusive past, is drawn to Henry. Loosely inspired by confessed killer Henry Lee Lucas, the film offers an unflinching, near-documentary portrait of violence without moralizing.
