While on a cross-country drive, a bitter writer (Franco Nero) and his beautiful wife (Corinne Clery) pick up a stranded motorist (David Hess). But when this hitcher turns out to be a depraved psychopath, their road trip takes a vicious detour into sex and savagery where the miles are marked in mayhem, and vengeance is the ultimate rule of thumb.
