Average Texas teen, Billie Jean Davy, is caught up in an odd fight for justice. She is usually followed and harrased around by local boys, who, one day, decide to trash her brother's scooter for fun. The boys' father refuses to pay them back the price of the scooter. The fight for "fair is fair" takes the teens around the state and produces an unlikely hero.

一位越战老兵（艾德·哈里斯）回到家乡后，失去了生活来源。越南难民的到来，更是威胁到了当地渔民的生计。而他青梅竹马的恋人（埃米·马迪根）却同情帮助这些难民。
