The Nature of the Beast

When drifter Adrian (Eric Roberts) strikes up a conversation with a man named Jack (Lance Henriksen) one night in a restaurant off the main road, Jack uneasily agrees to give Adrian a lift. As the two drive, Adrian starts making Jack increasingly uncomfortable by repeatedly alluding to a secret Jack is keeping. Meanwhile, news reports are spreading about a vicious murderer known as The Hatchet Man -- who seems to be committing crimes wherever Adrian and Jack turn up.
