Between May 2005 and August 2006, Dale and Jeff Hausner, later joined by Samuel Dieteman, turned drive-by shootings into sport, keeping score as they picked off their victims at random and terrorised the residents of Phoenix, Arizona. This film delves into their backgrounds and talks to those who knew the terrible trio in an effort to find out what turned them into killers.
The Hausners' spree of senseless destruction and deadly shootings began some six months before they met Dieteman. Together they would become known as The Serial Shooters. The blue-collar brothers called it "random recreational violence".
While the citizens of Phoenix cowered in their homes and the authorities struggled to find out who was responsible, the killers amassed a victim list of staggering proportions, with animals, property and humans in their sights.
When captured, Dale Hausner declared that his name would become as famous as Charles Manson's, but was the desire for fame the motivation for these predatory crimes? Perhaps events in their lives had turned them into monsters? Or were Hausner and Dieteman born to kill?
