Richard and Anthony camp at an abandoned farm near the town, their reminiscences of childhood interspersed with flashbacks to Anthony's ordeal at the hands of the gang youth, and Richard's subsequent revenge. This revenge starts when the gang and their leader Sonny find out about his presence. Sonny confronts Richard in a failed attempt to intimidate him. Richard's revenge begins with the older members of the gang. While they are asleep he sneaks into their house, wearing a green coat and a gas mask. He spray paints one of the two mens hair multi-coloured and paints a target on the back of the other's suit. On the same evening he enters Sonny's house and applies make up to Sonny's face.

However things soon turn nasty as Richard sneaks into a club where the gang are hiding out and playing cards and kills one of their members with an axe, using his blood to scribble the words "One Down" on the wall. The gang take their Citroën 2CV and go to the farm where Richard is staying with Anthony. Sending in Al (one of their members) to draw Richard out, Sonny prepares to shoot him with a rifle. However, he misfires and kills Al.

The surviving members return to a local petrol station where Tuff runs off, scared of Richard's revenge. The other three return home, they search the house expecting Richard to be there. However while they are upstairs Richard laces their kettle with a sizable amount of drugs taken from the gang earlier in the film. The three members become too high to be aware that Richard is in the house and he kills them one by one. He shoots Sonny in the head, punches Mark at such an angle that he is killed, and finally stabs Herbie. Before killing Herbie, he reveals having also already killed Tuff, producing his corpse in a suitcase, although it is not revealed how.
With one member of the gang left, Richard abducts him and takes him to an old outbuilding. It is now revealed that Anthony is dead, having been hanged after being tormented by the gang. The Anthony that is seen with Richard throughout the film is in fact, a hallucination. Not wishing to kill the final member, due to his having children and not being directly responsible for Anthony's death (though not doing anything to prevent it), Richard then forces him to stab him, and dies with his revenge complete.
