Beau Bridges, Kiefer Sutherland, Camelia Kath, Janet Carroll, Joe Don Baker, Michael Madsen, Wayne Rogers, Shiri ApplebySheriff Sam Wayburn und Freundin Laura planen die Ermordung ihres Mannes Jake Winslow, einem umtriebigen Spekulanten, der den Rustikal-Charme des kalifornischen Küstenstädtchens zerstören will. Da kommt Brian Mars, der neue Deputy, in die Stadt, doch unter dieser Maske verbirgt sich ein rachsüchtiger Killer, der die Dinge zur Eskalation bringt. Winslow muß dran glauben, doch auch Wayburn und Mars, die sich im tödlichen Finale gegenüberstehen, kommen nicht davon.
Kleinstadt-‚film noir‘, der mehr Nervenkitzel verspricht, als er bieten kann.
After bagging his latest victim, a murderous sociopath (Kiefer Sutherland) decides to steal the dead man's identity and pose as the deputy of a remote coastal town, where the local sheriff (Beau Bridges) and his lover (Camelia Kath) are cooking up a few misdeeds of their own: namely, to kill the mistress's husband (Wayne Rogers) and pin the crime on the fledgling deputy. But in this town of half-truths, nobody's secret is safe.
