The story of loner David Paxton, who returns to his hometown and becomes obsessed with childhood friend Joan and her troubled teenage son Ross, seeing them as a last chance for a "perfect" life. David is rejected by Joan, but breaks through Ross's volatile, destructive nature and forms an unlikely friendship with the boy, making himself the object of suspicion and condemnation by the town. Driven over the edge, David begins a dangerous descent, targeting town patriarch Bill Huston, the man who stands between he and Ross, and heading toward a final violent confrontation that will explode in the realization and revelation that David may be a most unlikely, and worthy hero.
