Plot

Badass (Sylvia Soska) and Geek (Jen Soska) set out with Badass’s friend, Junkie (Rikki Gagne) to pick up Goody Two-Shoes (CJ Wallis) from his church youth group. Afterwards, they plan to go pick up drugs for Badass and Junkie. On the way, they discover the dead body of a hooker in the trunk of the car. Badass and Junkie had been partying the previous night, so they are unsure if they killed her, or not. To be safe, the group decides to get rid of the body.

The group stay at a motel that night, after convincing the motel’s owner that the hooker was alive, and wanted to sleep with him in exchange for the room. Geek calls the police, who question Badass. They offer to let her go in exchange for sexual favors. She knocks them out, handcuffs them together, naked, and leaves. She and Geek get in a fight, which ends when Badass knocks her out with a punch in the face.

They go to pick up drugs, to pass the time until it is dark enough for them to transport the body. The dealer’s house is ambushed by a gang, which attacks Junkie and the dealer. Badass and the others are waiting in the car, but she runs inside when she hears fighting. She rescues Junkie from getting her arm cut off, and shoots everyone else inside. Outside, Geek tries to call the cops, again, but has her right eye knocked out by an unknown figure wielding a baseball bat. Badass brings Junkie to the car, and the four drive off.

After stopping to look at their map, Junkie gets her arm ripped off by a passing semi truck. Goody Two-Shoes is able to sew it back on, and Geek’s empty eye socket is covered with an ‘X’ of electrical tape. They try to bury the body, only to have the hooker sit up, alive. Badass instinctively hits her in the head with a shovel, killing her, and the group leaves the scene, scared.

The next day, the group is attacked by the hooker’s cowboy pimp, who Badass kills. They split up, after another fight between Geek and Badass. Badass drops Junkie off at the hospital, while Geek and Goody Two-Shoes take separate cabs, but both end up at the dead hooker’s house. Inside the house, Geek and Goody Two-Shoes rescue the dead hooker’s dog, and learn about a serial killer who has been murdering prostitutes. They get Junkie from the hospital, and return to the house, where Badass has arrived. Seeing someone matching the killer’s description, they capture him. Geek and Badass torture him to death with power tools. That night, Badass is kidnapped.

The serial killer is revealed to be the priest from Goody Two-Shoes’s church, who was maimed by a botched circumcision,leaving him with a forked penis. He has been killing prostitutes in fits of rage, after they mock his misshapen member. He tortures Badass. Geek, Junkie, and Goody Two-Shoes show up to rescue her. Chasing the murderer, as he tries to escape, Geek is knocked to the ground. He informs her of his intention to rape her empty eye socket, but Badass appears, and rescues her twin. The two set him on fire, killing him, and the four are finally able to dispose of the hooker’s body, by dumping it into the ocean. Geek and Goody Two-Shoes kiss, and Badass suggests they all deserve a vacation.
