Why tonight?
- Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
- It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.

On the eve of her 17th birthday, Mari and friend Phyllis set off from her family home to attend a rock concert in the city. Attempting to score some drugs on the way, the pair run afoul of a group of vicious crooks, headed up by the sadistic Krug.
