During four desperate days in a Northwest forest wilderness, a man and woman are thrown together as they flee from a bizarre slave camp. Chased from the ground by baying dogs, they frantically battle a hostile environment. Ron, with puritanical ideas about womanhood, is appalled to learn Rita endured her captors’ sexual pleasures in order to survive. He is shocked when she submits to rape to ensnare one of their pursuers, and he is further stunned by his loss of self-control when, in the emotion of victory, he succumbs to her semi-naked body. There is action and vengeance, and Ron’s final realization of his true feelings for Rita.
