Plot

The film begins with a blissful wedding, but the young couple union explodes when a fit of jealousy unhinges Sandra and Lonnie's world. Generosity leads to spiteful reprisals as a metal-crushing, fire-spewing crescendo shows that mayhem can be an integral element in the high stakes of true love.
