Returning to her hometown, a young woman finds herself stalked by a violent criminal. Living on the edge of the wilderness Blackway (Ray Liotta), an ex-cop turned violent crime lord, has set his sights on Lillian (Julia Stiles) and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Advised by the Sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of an ex-logger (Anthony Hopkins) and his laconic young sidekick, the only two men in town brave enough, or crazy enough, to go with her, and go up against Blackway.
