Plot Outline:
Kenneth
Bianchi would very much like to join the police. He's also a psychopath. After being
rejected again his mother – or, as we later learn in passing, his adoptive mother
– suggests Ken might benefit from a change of scenery and arranges for him to go west
and visit his cousin Angelo in LA. It's a bad combination, the older, more experienced but
equally psychopathic Angelo exerting a negative image on his younger, impressionable
cousin. The two men decide to set themselves up as pimps, using Ken's charm – by this
time he's also found a steady girlfriend in Allison and set himself up in a phony
counselling business – to lure the naive Amber into their clutches and Angelo's
capacity for brutal violence to control her. But, after recruiting another victim and
buying a list of clients of another hooker, Gabrielle, they are visited by a rival pimp
and his thugs, who take their money and guns and send the girls packing. Seeking vegeance,
Angelo and Ken pick up Gabrielle and Ken strangles her to death. They dump the body, but
it doesn't even rate a mention in the papers. Turned on, the pair quickly develop their
modus operandi. Posing as plain clothes policemen they find it easy to arrest hookers
– and then, just any woman who has the misfortune to cross their paths – and
then take them in for questioning to rape, torture and murder, before then dumping the
bodies…
