An
obsession for revenge drives police officer Hunter Ralston to hunt down
Edward Keller, the man who abducted and murdered his son. After his
son's death Ralston resorts to alcohol and drug abuse, ultimately losing
his job and his wife. He is misguided in believing that his only hope
for redemption is to kill the enigmatic Keller, who is cunning in his
methods of treachery. Once Ralston catches Keller he finds that he lacks
the courage to kill Keller himself. The events that follow lead both
characters to an ominous conclusion that is unexpectedly fitting.
