Plot Summary

After moving from Michigan to Daytona Beach, Florida, and on the verge of committing suicide, street prostitute Aileen “Lee” Wuornos meets Selby Wall in a gay bar. Although Aileen is initially hostile and not a lesbian, she talks to Selby while drinking beer. Selby takes to Aileen almost immediately and invites the former to spend the night with her. Both women return to the house where Selby is staying after being temporarily exiled by her religious parents following an accusation from another girl that Selby tried to kiss her. They later agree to meet at a roller skating rink, and they kiss for the first time.

Aileen and Selby fall in love and agree to meet for another date the following evening. Aileen begins prostituting the following day to make money to take Selby on the date. Towards the end of the day, she is approached by a client, Vincent Corey, who drives them to a wooded area. Aileen becomes uncomfortable by Vincent’s bizarre demeanor and avowed hatred for prostitutes. As the two begin arguing, Vincent knocks Aileen unconscious. Meanwhile, Selby waits for Aileen but leaves after she does not show up. Aileen regains consciousness and finds herself tied to the steering wheel, as Vincent brutally rapes and beats her.

Aileen manages to free her hands and shoot him to death with a gun from her purse. She disposes of his body, steals his car and decides to quit prostitution. Later that night, she visits Selby at the house and asks her to run away with her. Selby agrees after Aileen confesses her love and promises to support her. The two rent a motel and try to start a life together. Aileen decides to find qualified work, but because of her lack of education and work experience, she is rejected by potential employers.
