The year was 1954. High school graduates along the Oregon coast celebrate their Rite of Passage into adulthood with a rip-roaring party at Lighthouse Beach.
They sing, dance and drink around their bonfires. But one girl strays from the safety of the pack.
John Abernathy, a serial rapist, decided Beach Night would be the perfect time and place to nab and rape another girl. Jack Portman went to Beach Night hoping to meet "the girl in the band."
Both are successful. They are destined to meet again.
