Synopsis/Details
Jeff is a lanky 16-year-old who works at a local pizza joint. He wants nothing more than to ask Wanda, one of the waitresses to go out with him but all he knows how to do is crack jokes. Chuck, the manager of the pizza joint, sees this and offers to hang out with Jeff after work to give him some pointers on talking to girls.
Jeff accepts but what starts out to be an after-work discussion takes a violent turn. At Chuck's condo, Jeff is sedated and is date-raped using a hammerhead that sets on Chuck's nightstand. Jeff, after feeling excruciating pain, gets hold of the hammerhead and kills Chuck with it. What started out as Jeff being a typical teenage boy having difficulty talking to girls ends with him being a fugitive and a murderer.
