Plot

Jessicka (Elske McCain) is a mute and intellectually disabled young woman that lives with her cousins Marley (Trent Haaga) and Brad Hoffman (Jeff Sisson). They mistreat and abuse her on a regular basis, subjecting Jessicka to beatings and rape when they aren't locking her up in a dog cage and treating her like a pet. It's only after Jessicka is bitten by a rabid dog that she begins to turn on her cruel captors and the porn director they pimp her out to.

Fans of the genre will find a lot to like, others very little."^[4]
