They are put into protective custody but the killers are giving uo that easy, there's no way they're going to let a witness to their crime live.
Simon is one of the killers that night. His group blames him for Jody getting away. They tell him to find her or his own family will be tortured and murdered. Simon begins using a tape recorder to tell the story of their gang, a terrible, unmerciful group of killers that kill for the fun of it, while he is on the hunt for Jody."
