One moment Pamela is a contented newlywed with a loving husband. The next, she's the prisoner of a repulsive killer who has lusted after her since high school...

Norman wouldn't say boo to a goose, so he's never going to throw bad-boy Duke or hitchhiker Boots out of his car. Together the lawless pair take him on a journey that's heading straight for the electric chair.

But then the glory bus drives by, offering escape and a hope of salvation to all, and Pamela and Norman are two of those who ask to climb aboard. They don't know their destination will be the furnace heat of the Mojave Desert, where a special welcome awaits them. It can't be worse then what's gone before - can it?
