Tony Manero (John Travolta) is a restless Brooklyn rebel who escapes problems at home each Saturday night when he shines as king of the disco dance floor.

Violet (Monica Keena) and Rosie (Daisy Eagan) are 15-year-old fraternal twin sisters on the edge of womanhood. When their parents are killed in a car crash, the girls hit the road as "outlaws," bound for Kentucky and the perfect life together. Quickly, they meet Pete (Gordon Currie), a cute handyman, living at a local military base and the three set up house. Violet embraces her desires and begins sleeping with Pete. Rosie represses sexual urges, turning to guns and dangerous play to impress the local recruits. Their childhood bond is shattered in a shocking and unforgettable chain of events.
