The case of the Hillside Strangler is one of the most unusual and gruesome in the annals of American crime. While most serial killers tend to work alone, the twisted criminal careers of Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi proved that evil can run in the family… and that when it comes to serial sex murder, two is far worse than one.This shocking new film is based on the facts of the case. It begins in 1977, as young Kenny is working as a security guard at a Rochester, N.Y department store, shaking down young ladies in his back "office." Looking for a way out of his dead-end life, he decides to make his way to sunny L.A. and visit his older cousin Angelo who owns a thriving automobile upholstery business.Once Kenny arrives, Angelo wastes no time showing Kenny the sights and delights of his sleazy Hollywood lifestyle – he favors the young wayward girls, pornography and strip clubs. On one outing he even invites Kenny to join in a little romp with the local talent.Kenny settles in but doesn't have much luck finding work. And once again he is turned down for the job that he aspires to the most—being a cop.Fortunes change when Angelo suggests that what they both need is a little action, namely getting into the "whore business." Kenny likes the sound of this, and in no time the two cousins have corralled a little stable of naïve young girls. However, one connection goes bad, burning them with a list of bogus "johns." Angelo snaps – and he takes Kenny along with him. Out on a cruise in Hollywood, they manage to track down Gabrielle, the wily hooker who did them wrong.She makes the mistake of getting into the car with them, and ten minutes later she's a dead, nude body put on display on a hillside. The reign of terror that would grip Southern California for two years has begun.
