The film is set in Xenia, Ohio, a small town that was hit by a tornado in 1974. The film, however, was not actually shot in Xenia. The film depicts Xenia as the home of various oddball and sometimes disturbing backwater characters. The loose narrative follows several main characters, interrupted by vignettes depicting the other denizens of the town.
The film opens with a grainy voiced narrator recounting the events of the tornado while disturbing home-movies images play — mostly of the town's people. After the narration, the credits roll over a montage of a pre-adolescent boy wearing a pair of pink bunny ears and shorts, on an overpass in the rain.
After the credit sequence, we see a cat being carried by the scruff of its neck by a teenage boy. He drowns the cat in a barrel of water. The film then cuts to a different boy, Tummler, in a wrecked car with a girl. They fondle each other, and Tummler realizes there is a lump on one of the girl's breasts.
