It is a suspenseful thriller that tells the story of a young woman named Lisa Roberts, played by Courteney Cox, who finds herself at the center of a mystery in the desolate landscape of the American Southwest. The film begins with Lisa traveling through the desert on her way to San Diego. She is a recent divorcee and is looking to start over in a new city. During her journey, Lisa meets a man named Billy the Kid, played by D.B. Sweeney. Billy is a drifter who has also been traveling through the desert. The two strike up a conversation, and Lisa invites Billy to ride along with her to San Diego.
