Scope and Contents

A girl, Beth, and her boyfriend, Cam, help her new roommate move in and have a celebratory dinner. Cam walks in on the new roommate, Amy, and her lesbian girlfriend kissing and is disturbed by it and the fact that his girlfriend lives with a lesbian. When he tells a friend about it, the friend councils him to get to know Amy as he might discover she's cool and they have common interests...other than girls. When he goes over to Beth and Amy's house he meets Gavin, a friend of Amy's, and they talk about Jeeps for a while. In another room Amy tells Beth she hopes Gavin meets someone nice as the breakup with his last boyfriend was difficult. Later Amy's girlfriend confronts Cam about how he avoids Amy and is giving her the cold shoulder because she is a lesbian. After the confrontation, Cam vandalizes Amy's car as Beth spies him in the act from a window. Cam's hatred escalates until he beats Amy with a tire iron.
