Synopsis

16-year old Candy Philips (Susan Sennet) is brutally abducted and buried alive in the hills of Southern California by a trio of amateur criminals hoping for a hasty ransom exchange. When Candy’s father (Ben Piazza) doesn’t show at their agreed rendezvous, the threesome—sultry blonde Jessie (Playboy model and 70s B-movie star, Tiffany Bolling), her sadistic brother Alan (Brad David) and maladjusted Army vet Eddy (Vincent Martorano)—begin to grow anxious. Paranoia sets in; the kidnappers fear their meticulous plan is crumbling and begin a downward spiral into depravity, mutilation and cold-blooded murder—with Candy helplessly trapped in the middle. —wikipedia
