Tim takes refuge in a rich family's summer home and eventually devises a plan to kill his father that goes cockeyed when Tracy (Shawn Batten), the family's pretty teenage daughter, shows up unexpectedly. But that summary is far more exciting than this picture's action. There's a clumsy subplot about Tracy's involvement with her high school English teacher. There's a non-plot about Tim's friendship with a local black youngster. But mostly there are endless scenes of filler. Hall employs the extreme close-up the way an alcoholic employs booze: too often and to disastrous effect. And Jeff Paul as Tim's dad contributes a performance so wooden it would make Glenn Campbell wince. .
