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.

As they continue on their journey, Lisa and Billy begin to develop a relationship. However, things take a sinister turn when Lisa wakes up one morning to find Billy has disappeared, leaving only his belongings behind. Lisa is confused and worried about what has happened to him, and she decides to search for him in the surrounding desert.
