**SPOILERS** You begin to wonder just how true the events that inspired this movie were within the first ten minutes. We get to see this kooky but nice guy wearing a guerrilla suit, when he's first unreduced in the film, Chris Gallagher (Eric Close) making a monkey out of himself as he goes completely ape sh*t over Jenniffer or Jen, Tiffani Thiasen, whom he met at a Memorial Day picnic.
Not wasting any time Chris gets in tight with Jen's crippled landlord Dave Morgan, Gerald McRaney, who set both him and Jen's up on a date. Moving at breakneck speed Chris get Jen to quickly fall in love with and then marry him in what looks like less then 24 hours. It's at her wedding reception that Jen's get some disturbing vibes from Chris 17 year-old cousin Dana, ALyson Harrigan, that there's something very screwy about him that has to do with his very overactive libido. That fact about Chris should have been very obvious to Jen from his very strange and unorthodox, to say th least, love making habits!
It also turns out that Chris a nut about being in the Navy washes out of the service in his fear of being in an atomic sub for three months at a time without shore leave as well as without his gorgeous wife Jen. What really comes to the surface about the boyish and lovable, when his manic depression doesn't set in, Chris is that he's a triple "A" sickola in his behavior when he comes in contact with beautiful but unsuspecting, in what he has in store for them, women. Chris is not only suspected by the cops of spending his free time, when he's not with his wife Jen, snooping around the neighborhood spying, through their bedroom windows, on women undressing but even at times breaking into their homes and raping them! When these mental aberrations about Chris become known to Jen she's already pregnant with his, and her, child and leaving him isn't an option! Especially when the guy, who's also a hyped up control freak, threatens to murder her if she does.
It's hard to take the action that Jen at first does, which is next to nothing, in her knowing that she's living and sleeping with a man who's at least four cans short of a six pack upstairs in his head. When the couples, Jen & Chris, child is born Dana lays it on Jen about how her older cousin Chris molested her as a young girl and what he's now capable of doing to their new born daughter, when she grows out of her diapers, Molly.
Meanwhile there's this rapist running around town attacking women at gun point that not only fits the description of Chris but does his "thing", raping and robing women, when Chris is not at work or at home making him, in Jen's mind, the number #1 suspect.
With no one believing Jen that her husband is a psycho rapist and can very well graduate to murdering his victims Jen's has no choice but turn him over to the police and let justice, in the fact that he's is the "Woolcap Rapist", decide his fate. Having no evidence to have her sick but very clever, in knowing how to cover his tracks, husband brought to justice Jen plans to catch him in the act and then get the cops to put the pinch on him. That was very brave on Jen's part but the big question is what if her suspicions about Chris are wrong and backfire on her! That would not only break up her marriage but have Chris get custody of Molly with Jen being, by the court, declared an unfit mother! But if in fact Jen is right about Chris how could she not be sure that he'll turn on her, before the cops can come to her rescue, knowing that he's not only a danger to all the young women in town but also to her and her infant daughter Molly as well!
