Nancy makes it out alive and gets her revenge on her attackers in Last Straw

In a movie that's only 81 minutes long, we find out who the masked intruders are early in the film. The movie starts off with Nancy finding out she's pregnant and then relaying the news to her best friend, Tabitha. She then heads off to her father's roadside diner, Fat Bottoms Bistro, where she works as a waitress.

Initially thinking that she'd be working a regular shift, she finds out from her dad that she'll be working the overnight shift since several employees called out. The only other person working the overnight shift with her is Jake, a strange man with a dark past and the diner's cook. He and Nancy do not get along at all.

As the sun goes down, other employees begin to take their leave as their shifts come to an end, including Bobby, who harbors a huge crush on Nancy. But just before they can leave, Nancy brings them together to discuss an important matter. Jake mouths off at Nancy during this discussion, which leads to her firing him. Now, it's just her left to work the overnight shift, and this is when things take a left turn.

After an intense dance session in the empty diner, Nancy begins puking all over the diner floors. As she cleans up the vomit, a group of masked assailants starts tormenting her by knocking on the sides of the diner. Nancy calls the police for help, and eventually a cop shows up. However, he ends up getting murdered by one of the masked intruders, and Nancy runs off to hide. While hiding in a nearby building, Nancy sees Bobby walk by with his bicycle to look at the murdered cop on the ground.

She leaves her hiding spot and runs to Bobby, and together, they run back into the diner. The masked intruders eventually capture them, but Nancy is able to get away and run back out of the diner. As one of the attackers approaches her, Nancy turns around and stabs them with a knife. The rest of the assailants run out of the diner to save their friend, including Bobby, which confuses Nancy.

The attackers then unmask themselves, and they're revealed to be Nancy's co-workers, Jake, Coop, and Petey. Petey is the person Nancy fatally stabbed. They were all working together to scare Nancy, but it appears Jake might've had an ulterior motive. The movie then flashes back to right after Jake got fired. The reason for the flashback is so that the viewers can see how Jake, Petey, Coop, and Bobby came up with the idea of terrorizing Nancy.

Before wrangling up Coop and Bobby in his sinister plan, Jake had tormented a group of up-to-no-good teens. These are the same teenagers who were bothering Nancy at the diner at the beginning of the film. He even killed two of them before taking their masks and their bikes. At this point in the film, it's obvious that Jake is mentally unstable. He killed the teens because he believed that they were the reason he was fired at the diner.

He and Petey then meet up with Bobby and Coop. He convinces them to join him and Petey in tormenting Nancy at the diner. They put on the masks, hop on the bikes, and head to the diner. But the plan goes awry after Jake kills the cop. Then, things become worse for Jake after his brother Petey is fatally stabbed by Nancy.

This leads to a cat-and-mouse chase in and around the diner. Bobby and Coop end up dead, and Nancy ends up badly injured after Jake stabs her repeatedly in the torso area. Believing she's dead, Jake leaves the diner and heads back to his house. On the way there, he calls the police to report the killing spree at the diner, leaving out the fact that he was the one behind it.

As Jake packs clothes in his bag to escape town, we find out that Nancy isn't actually dead. She wakes up in the diner the next morning and unbuttons her shirt. She had shielded her torso with a bunch of raw meat. This protected her from being fatally stabbed. However, the raw meat didn't fully protect her body.

Nancy gets up from the diner's floor, grabs the cop car keys, and makes her way to Jake's house to exact her revenge. She places a sticker on the doorbell to his house so that it will repeatedly ring. As Jake opens his door to see who's outside, he notices the sticker and stares at it in confusion. Meanwhile, Nancy has made her way inside his house and stands behind him with a knife. Just as Jake turns around to step back inside his home, Nancy ambushes him and stabs him in the neck. With blood gushing from his neck, Jake walks onto his porch and falls to the ground.

Nancy leaves him there to bleed out and walks down the road. She walks a good distance before falling to the ground. With her energy completely depleted, Nancy stares at the sky. A car then pulls up, and her dad Edward hops out of the vehicle to rescue her.
