Jenkins unearths a love story in the midst of the horrors and pathologies of two misfits: Wuornos, a prostitute deemed by the media as the first ìfemale serial-killerî ñ a monster ñ and Selby Ward (Ricci), who was sent by her parents to live with an aunt in Florida in order to ìcure her homosexuality.î The two meet and fall in love just as Wuornos was nearing suicidal despair. Selby becomes the first person in Wuornosí tragic existence to value her as a human being.
