He has lost everything since the death of his wife, who passed away in a car accident. John was driving the car at the time, and the guilt he feels has consumed him. The film takes place in a small town in the middle of nowhere, where John now works as a security guard at a factory. His job is to monitor the factory, which produces a variety of different products, including animal feed. He spends his days walking the perimeter, checking doors and windows, and trying to stay awake.

John's life takes a turn when he meets Julie, played by Kelly Rutherford. She is a beautiful woman who is passing through town on her way to meet her estranged husband. Julie and John form a connection, and he begins to confide in her about the pain he is carrying inside.
