This white-knuckle thriller starts with a bang: a single shot, aimed at a lone deer, that hits and kills a young woman. The hunter, John Moon, watches her die before discovering a box of money near her body. In a desperate panic, he takes the cash – hiring a low-rent lawyer to fight his wifes divorce suit – and attempts to cover up the killing. But when he discovers that the money belonged to a group of hardened criminals, the hunter becomes the hunted in this tense cat-and-mouse struggle in the backwoods of West Virginia.
