Plot
After divorcing his wife Claralyn "Cricket" Balazs, Leonard Lake teams up with his friend Charles Ng to kidnap young women and hold them hostage in an attempt to condition them into becoming their own personal sex slaves. They first murder a young couple, Harvey and Deborah Dubs and steal their video camera to film themselves as they rape and torture their victims into obedience. The killers refer to their victims as "Miranda", a reference to the 1963 novel The Collector. Over time, Lake and Ng's activities catches the eyes of the Wilseyville locals Lonnie Bond and his wife Brenda O'Connor. Lonnie threatens Lake to leave his family alone, alluding to knowing about Lake's murderous activities, so Lake and Ng kidnap the two along with their infant child and murder them.

Lake and Ng next capture two women who they keep locked up together. When Ng discovers one of the two Mirandas has died overnight, Lake accuses Ng of negligence and demands he buries the corpse by himself, which he begrudgingly agrees to. Claralyn returns and creates a further divide between the two men by sleeping with Ng on camera. She is confronted by Lake, but she rebuffs him, demanding he get rid of all of the incriminating tapes that include her, which he agrees to do.

Lake verbally berates Ng and in anger, he uses a broken table vice to murder their remaining Miranda. Later that night, they work out their differences and agree to start fresh with a new victim, who turns out to behave far more compliantly than their previous captives. She willingly poses for Lake to take photographs, feeds from Ng's food dish like a dog and declares herself the Miranda when Lake makes reference to the previous Mirandas and his favor of her over them. Lake then dresses Miranda in Claralyn's glasses and instructs Ng to have sex with her as he directs them from across the room. ONCE Miranda is left alone to clean, she escapes through THE back door and runs through the woods calling for help. Lake and Ng chase her down to a dirt road where a car pulls up, BUT out from the car steps Claralyn Balasz.

After an undisclosed amount of time passes, Lake mentions he cannot believe how well behaved Miranda has been acting as of late. Lake asks Ng if he thinks she is "ready for the next step" which Ng agrees she is. The two make one more tape of their newest victim, an under age girl who Lake instructs to take off her clothes. In front of the camera, Lake directs Miranda to engage in foreplay and makes her give him a hand job. The film ends with Lake making a knowing and cocky smirk to the camera.
