College student Jeffrey Beaumont returns to his idyllic hometown of Lumberton to manage his father’s hardware store while his father is hospitalized. Walking though a grassy meadow near the family home, Jeffrey finds a severed human ear. After an initial investigation, lead police Detective John Williams advises Jeffrey not to speak to anyone about the case as they investigate further. Detective Williams also tells Jeffrey that he cannot divulge any information about what the police know. Detective Williams’ high school aged daughter, Sandy Williams, tells Jeffrey what she knows about the case from overhearing her father’s private conversations on the matter: that it has to do with a nightclub singer named Dorothy Vallens, who lives in an older apartment building near the Beaumont home. His curiosity getting the better of him, Jeffrey, with Sandy’s help, decides to find out more about the woman at the center of the case by breaking into Dorothy’s apartment while he knows she’s at work. What Jeffrey finds is a world unfamiliar to him, one that he doesn’t truly understand but one that he is unable to deny the lure of despite the inherent dangers of being associated with a possible murder. Still, he is torn between this world and the prospect of a relationship with Sandy, the two who are falling for each other, despite Sandy already being in a relationship with Mike, the school’s star football player.

Google-Übersetzung v. Huggo Der College-Student Jeffrey Beaumont kehrt in seine idyllische Heimatstadt Lumberton zurück, um den Baumarkt seines Vaters zu leiten, während sein Vater ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert wird. Bei einem Spaziergang durch eine grasbewachsene Wiese in der Nähe des Familienhauses findet Jeffrey ein abgetrenntes menschliches Ohr. Nach einer ersten Untersuchung rät der leitende Polizeidetektiv John Williams Jeffrey, mit niemandem über den Fall zu sprechen, während sie weiter untersuchen. Detective Williams sagt Jeffrey auch, dass er keine Informationen darüber preisgeben kann, was die Polizei weiß. Detective Williams’ Tochter im Highschool-alter, Sandy Williams, erzählt Jeffrey, was sie über den Fall weiß, wenn sie die privaten Gespräche ihres Vaters zu diesem Thema gehört hat: dass es mit einer Nachtclub-Sängerin namens Dorothy Vallens zu tun hat, die in einem älteren Mehrfamilienhaus in der Nähe des Beaumont-Hauses lebt. Jeffrey, seine Neugier, ihn zu überwältigen, beschließt mit Sandys Hilfe, mehr über die Frau im Zentrum des Falls herauszufinden, indem er in Dorothys Wohnung einbricht, während er weiß, dass sie bei der Arbeit ist. Was Jeffrey findet, ist eine Welt, die ihm nicht vertraut ist, eine, die er nicht wirklich versteht, aber eine, der er trotz der inhärenten Gefahren, mit einem möglichen Mord in Verbindung gebracht zu werden, nicht in der Lage ist, die Verlockung zu leugnen. Dennoch ist er hin- und hergerissen zwischen dieser Welt und der Aussicht auf eine Beziehung mit Sandy, den beiden, die sich ineinander verlieben, obwohl Sandy bereits in einer Beziehung mit Mike, dem Starfußballspieler der Schule, ist.
