Synopsis

Teenage Sheila (Jennifer Clay) is running away from her Los Angeles home, and hitches a lift one night with a young mother and her baby. As they drive along the highway, a car tyre bursts so they have to stop in a layby and all three get out and make their way to the nearest telelphone box. As the mother makes the call, Sheila hangs onto the baby's hand, but while she waits a large, fierce dog begins growling at them and suddenly launches itself at the child, grabbing it in its jaws... The next day teenage Evan (Bill Coyne) is relaxing at home when his mother returns with the groceries, and is furious that he has done no housework; she throws a bottle at him, which is the final straw for Evan, and like Sheila, he runs away...
