Still grieving the untimely death of her father, photojournalist Shannon Mathers spreads his ashes in the woods when she witnesses a cop shooting and killing an unarmed henchman during a drug deal. She captures the whole scene on her camera before being discovered. Shot at, scared, helpless and on the run, she races her way through the woods with no recognition of her location. Distracted by the violent noise of the attack, Jack Harris, a newly retired police officer who is relaxing at his cabin, saves Shannon just in time and the two narrowly escape into the woods. Not sure of whom she can trust, as more dirty cops arrive to help hunt her down, including the brutal town sheriff Hank Rivers, she decides to rely on Jack, her only real chance to fight back the corrupt police and bring them to justice.
