Cassandra, a mute runaway girl, takes refuge in the cemetery in which her mother is laid to rest. She is watched over by Jorge, the cemetery caretaker, an illegal alien who is committed to the restoration of a classic '60 cadillac hearse. Shore is a dynamic, handsome, and brilliant young man who also happens to be homeless. After almost hitting Cassandra in his dilapidated VW bus, he becomes fascinated by the gothic cemetery waif and attempts to befriend her. A sequence of events results in Cass getting lost. Jorge and Shore flee the cemetery in a stolen hearse to find Cassandra before her abusive step-father does.

Plot
En route to a job, New York based model Marsha Mitchell decides to stop for less than 24 hours in the southern American town of Rock Point to visit her sister, Lucy Rice, who she has not seen in two years, and meet Lucy's husband, Hank Rice, for the first time. Upon arriving in Rock Point, Marsha witnesses a Ku Klux Klan slaying of who she would later learn is Walter Adams, an out of town reporter who was going to write an exposé on the Klan. Marsha even saw two of the men's faces after they removed their hoods, but they didn't see Marsha. Upon later arriving at Lucy's house, Marsha is shocked to see that Hank was one of the Klansmen committing the murder, he being a Klansman of which Lucy is unaware. Marsha decides to confront Hank and Lucy about what she saw. Meanwhile, county prosecutor Burt Rainey knows that the Klan committed the murder, everyone in town is aware that the Klan committed the murder, but Rainey knows that no one will come forward to implicate the Klan for what they see is the good of the town. He is also aware that Marsha would have been in the area when the murder was committed and wants to talk to her and hope that being an outsider will allow her to speak freely if she did indeed see anything. Marsha has to decide what to say to Rainey specifically taking into account how best to protect her and Lucy's welfare, which includes the fact that Lucy is pregnant with Hank's baby.

Dramatic thunder coming your way!
Behind this burning cross...Behind the loopholes in the law...Behind their cowardly hoods...They hide a thousand vicious crimes!
THE MOTION PICTURE THAT DARES TO RIP THE MASK OFF THE KU KLUX KLAN! (original print ad - all caps)
Cliff Rummel: I can't show the new summer line without a model.::Marsha Mitchell: Show 'em on hangers.::Cliff Rummel: Hangers haven't got what you've got!
Charlie Barr: I'll give you a tip, young fellow. Never go off half-cocked. Who's to say the Klan's involved? You got a witness? Don't drag people into anything unless you got solid legal evidence. Everything that happens in these small towns right away they blame it on the Klan.
Faulkner: Let's not fool ourselves, Charlie. You know the boys. Without those white hoods to hide in, they're no heroes. That's why they need the hoods in the first place. Put them under fire, legal fire, and you'll see a rat race like you never seen before! They'll squeal, they'll cry, they'll run like rabbits!
Burt Rainey: Hear that yellin' out there? That's the Klan! They just found out that law and order can't touch them. You did that when you let them off! They're runnin' wild! They're gonna rip up the old laws and make new ones! They're gonna do every rotten thing they can think of doing!
Charlie Barr: Don't force me to show you how we handle people! We're the law here! We're the judges and the jury!::Marsha Mitchell: I'm no hero. I'm scard! That's what you wanted, and that's the way it is. Yeah, I'm afraid of what you might do to me. But if I ever get out of here, I'm gonna tell, and there's nothing you can do that'll stop me!
Burt Rainey: Just wearing that hood doesn't change your voice, Walker. Am I supposed to be afraid of you because your face is covered up? It'll take more than these sheets you're wearing to hide the fact that you're mean, frightened little people, or you wouldn't be here, desecrating the cross.
A shore or shoreline is the fringe of land at the edge of a large body of water, such as an ocean, sea, or lake. In Physical Oceanography a shore is the wider fringe that is geologically modified by the action of the body of water past and present, while the beach is at the edge of the shore, representing the intertidal zone where there is one. In contrast to a coast, a shore can border any body of water, while the coast must border an ocean; that is, a coast is a type of shore. Shore is often substituted for coast where an oceanic shore is meant.
Shores are influenced by the topography of the surrounding landscape, as well as by water induced erosion, such as waves. The geological composition of rock and soil dictates the type of shore which is created.
Feel the morning sun,
The cool breeze flowing through you,
Has just begun,
You warm my winter heart,
I fall for you, but I just fall apart.
Ooh, it's everything we are, (everything we are)
Ooh, it's everything we are.
Drifting through the day,
I'm losing touch with you, can't you see,
Looking through your skies, I believe,
There's warmth in your eyes.
Ooh, it's everything we are, (everything we are)
Ooh it's everything we are. (everything we are)
Waiting for the morning light,
Waiting for the sun to shine,
Waiting for the morning light,
Waiting for the sun to shine.
Ooh, it's everything we are, (everything we are)
Ooh it's everything we are. (everything we are)
Ooh, it's everything we are, (everything we are)
Coming down,
I can feel the sound of the daybreak,
Losing shades of the way things were,
Time is turning,
Coming down,
I feel you on my mind,
Losing touch,
But I never find the time,
You know, You know, You know.
The evening stars never heal my scars,
But they oughta,
Changing tones move in snow-like shows,
Always burning.
Coming down,
I feel you on my mind,
Losing touch,
But I never find the time
You know, You know,
You know, You know.
Coming down,
I can feel the sound of the daybreak,
Losing shades of the way things were,
Time is turning.
Coming down,
I feel you on my mind
Losing touch,
But I never find the time
You know, You know,
You know, You know.
I can feel it,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Love is the answer,
Love is the answer.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Everyone's telling me baby,
A hard rain's gonna fall,
And I've been feeling gray skies,
Trying to end it all, yeah.
You and I are moving in a different way, yeah,
I'm losing all the feeling of yesterday, yeah, yeah.
And I've been down,
I've been wasted,
I'm torn and frayed, frayed,
And I can feel it coming on like a hurricane, yeah.
You and I are moving in a different way, yeah,
I've got no soul; I've got nothing of yesterday,
oh, oh, oh, oh.
Ooh, my dear, can't you see,
My heart is breaking now?
All my love has gone to waste,
But I can't change it now, yeah.
Ooh, oh, ooh no,
Yeah, yeah,
Heartbreak, you're taking all my strength away,
Move on, breaking it down in your own way,
But now you're gone and I've been down, nowhere to stay,
It's all lost, feeling blind, I can take the blame.
But we're all on the outside,
Everyone's staring in,
Nobody understands it,
Chasing the tracks of my sins,
It ain't right, I know,
It ain't right, I know,
Baby come on.
Burned out basement, baby I don't wanna go,
And you know, baby it's true, and you gotta show,
And I've been down, driving you outta my mind,
But you know what's in store, and you're gonna find.
We're all on the outside,
Everyone's staring in,
Nobody understands it,
Chasing the tracks of my sins,
It ain't right, I know,
It ain't right, I know,
Baby come on,
Baby come on, yeah.
We're all on the outside,
Everyone's staring in,
Nobody understands it,
Chasing the tracks of my sins,
It ain't right, I know,
It ain't right, I know,
It ain't right, I know,
It ain't right, I know,
Baby come on,
Ooh, baby come on,
Ooh, baby come on,
Yeah, baby come on.

Where were you when I need... ed you so
Where were you when I called your name
Where are you now when I need you again
I guess that things just stay the same
Verse 2:
Where's the feelin' you told me you had
The feelin' you said would never change
I was again just like all the rest
I guess that things just stay the same
Chorus (w/background vocals second time only):
But if we ever meet again (meet again)
And if-a you need a true lovin' friend (true lovin' friend)
Just look my way and give me a smile (give me a smile)
And you can stay with me a...

Verse 3:
If I could start all over again
You know I'd start again with you
So says my heart but my mind can see
That what we had is through

I'll be your...
I’ve been losing these days,
Can’t feel you no more,
I’ve been lost in a haze,
Got my head on the floor.
Babe it’s on the way down, yeah,
You tend to lose your mind,
Babe it’s on the way out, yeah,
You try to take what’s mine, ooh, ooh.
I’ve been dreaming all day,
Of the light in your eyes,
You never come ‘round no more,
Except to say goodbye.
Babe it’s on the way down, yeah,
You tend to lose your mind,
Babe it’s on the way out, yeah,
You try to take what’s mine, ooh, ooh, oh.
Babe it’s on the way down, yeah,
You tend to lose your mind,
Babe it’s on the way out, yeah,
You try to take what’s mine.
Babe it’s on the way down, yeah,
You tend to lose your mind,
Babe it’s on the way out, yeah,
Summer's changing baby,
All the light is changing too,
Can't you see?
Feels like all the colors of emotion shine on through,
Even if we try,
Ooh, it gets me high drifting through the light,
Endless miles I'll drive,
Trying to make it right.
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the light,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
I keep on holding on, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh.
Coming down I feel vibrations sweetly sing my soul,
To a new day,
Let it flow,
Let the soft sound glow inside my mind,
Things I'll never know.
Ooh, it brings me down,
Drifting through the light,
Endless miles I drive,
Trying to make it right.
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the light,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
I keep on holding on, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh.
Let it come down honey,
Everyone has gone,
Leave it behind.
Ohh, it brings me down,
Drifting through the light,
Endless miles I drive,
Trying to make it right.
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the light,
I keep on holding on, waiting for the sun,
Fallin' down,
I'm tasting all I ever had,
Just to lose,
Tremblin' stars,
They shine and sway, every way
It's always true.
Fireflies are dancing on the ceilin',
Silver threads are woven through your hair.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high.
Holding on,
I'm losing all I ever had,
Burning sky,
Take me down,
I'm waiting on another life,
Back to you.
Fireflies are dancing on the ceiling,
Silver threads are woven through your hair,
Everything you do,
Sends me reeling,
Always moving through you everywhere.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Warmed by the breath of the breeze in our minds,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Warmed by the breath of the breeze in our minds,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high,
Gets me high,
I've been living all these years; just to grow another fear,
And to feel the other side of you leaving,
We can't know where we belong,
Aging rivers move along and the breath of our hearts
Is dying
Lord I'm needing you so much,
I'm so afraid of losing touch,
Don't you feel it when I say...?
Baby, please hold on to it,
Baby, please hold on to it, oh, oh, oh.
Burning through another day,
Watching the tide roll away,
And the ocean of our lives is fading,
And I'm trying to feel the light,
Pass through darkness in the night,
We're both changing, can't you see?
That I'm needing you so much,
We've come so far to lose our touch,
Better believe me, when I say,
Baby, please hold on to it,
Oh, baby please hold on to it, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh.
Lord I'm needing you so much,
I'm so afraid of losing touch,
Don't you feel it when I say...?
Baby, please hold on to it,
Baby, please hold on to it, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, how will I know?
Oh, how will I know?
I've been chasing you down
Waiting for something to bend
I've been lost, now I'm found
Sailing the tide to your heart
You're taking the hard road
You never feel anymore
I'll let you come down easy
Let you be reborn
Have some faith in the life
Going through windows and doors
But the seasons have changed
And I've never felt so alone
You're taking the hard road
You never love anyone
Let me come down easy
Let me be the one
You've got one love on your mind
Try to get to heaven
If you got the time
I feel something I can't deny
Oh, no...
You're taking the hard road
You never love anyone
Let me come down easy
Let me be reborn
Oh, oh
You've got one love on your mind
Try to get to heaven
If you got the time
I feel something I can't deny
Oh no
Oh no
