A young adolescent Bobby (Gary McCleery) decides to accompany his brother along for a drive in his vehicle. While on this venture, associates of his sibling steal from a drugstore and kill a police officer who was investigating the break-in. The suspects are apprehended, and the protagonist is found guilty of the crime and jailed for his actions. The local sheriff (John Seitz) empathizes with the boy's situation. A woman counselor, Laura (Margaret Klenck), is given the young man's file and she is under the impression that he did not commit the crime. This counselor finds herself having feelings for the young man. She decides to attempt to assist him in convincing the legal system that he is not guilty. Her other option, if this fails, is to illegally ferret him out of the prison of her own accord. Laura requests a favor from her friend involved in substance abuse (John Sayles), and this friend provides her with a gun. Laura goes to the police department, holds up the sheriff and flees with Bobby. Laura's acquaintance involved with the substance abuse manages to successfully transport Bobby and Laura to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they may continue expressing their affectionate feelings towards one another while evading the law. As the couple plan to escape to Colombia, the police catch up with Laura and apprehend her. Bobby is able to escape and reluctantly flies to South America, agonized about leaving Laura behind.
