Director Patty Jenkins (Independent Spirit Award Winner for Best First Feature) burrows deep beneath the tabloid headlines of a man-hating serial killer, to unearth a love story blossoming among the horrors and pathologies of two misfits - Wuornos (Charlize Theron), a drifter prostitute who kills her "johns" and Selby Wall (Christina Ricci), a girl who's sent by her parents to live with an aunt to "cure" her homosexuality. After their chance encounter, their love flourishes, while their financial situation becomes desperate. Wuornos continues her prostitution to keep the relationship alive, which fuels a deadly rage, a rage unleashed in a string of lurid killings and turns her into a MONSTER.
