Lynn Hart is a disturbed young woman who escapes from a mental hospital where she was committed
for killing her abusive father who raped her. Stealing a nurse's uniform and car Lynn ends up
in a small California town where she meets and shacks up with Zambrini an old farmer who runs
the local motel and roadside café. Zambrini also owns a group of pigs that he keeps in a pen
behind his house who have somehow developed a taste for human flesh. When Lynn begins killing a
number of men who remind her of her dead father Zambrini helps her out by disposing of the
bodies to the pigs. Investigating the disappearances the local sheriff eventually becomes
suspicious of Lynn's past and a private investigator hired by the hospital to find her slowly
close in on Lynn.
