She's a foul-mouthed tramp who can wrap just about anyone around her finger. She steals dead people's ashes and sleeps with gay hunks and religious fanatics with equal indifference. She's Dedee Truitt and she's not your typically sweet 16 year-old.

Escaping her rotten Louisiana life, Dedee flees to Indiana home of her gay half-brother Bill, where she proceeds to seduce his live-in boyfriend Matt, steal $10,000 and lead a cast of devious characters on a frenetic cross-country chase to L.A. Bill is joined in hot pursuit by an embittered spinster, a love-torn local sheriff and Matt's jilted ex-lover.
