Half-sisters, schoolteacher Mona and junkie punk rocker Terri, are uneasy roommates while taking care of their sick mother, Consuela. When their boyfriends, deputy Johnny Cullen and killer Merle Chambers, clash due to labor struggles in their small town of Devil's River, the two women are pulled inexorably into the fray. To make matters worse, jealous female sheriff, Billie Travers, decides Mona is intruding on her faltering love affair, and quiet small town life amps up into an apocalyptic nightmare of uncontrollable violence and destruction. "Imagine Thelma & Louise, Jim Thompson and punk rock folded together in a high-speed blender and you've got Volcano Girls. Chris D. imbues noir with a vibe that rocks hard." - Alan K. Rode, author of Charles McGraw, Film Noir Tough Guy and Michael Curtiz, A Man for All Movies "The sound of a pick-axe, the smell of the half-drunk bourbon, the feel of the shock-absorberless truck, the sight of a head evaporating in an aerosol shower of blood - sensurround noir, by a writer who doesn't hold back." - Sylvie Simmons, author of the short story collection, Too Weird for Ziggy and I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen
