Plot

Tom Cross and his girlfriend, Robin Andrews, are enjoying a camping trip in the mountain region of North Carolina. One night, the couple is awakened by a "police officer" who claims that he is taking them to police headquarters. Instead, they are kidnapped and terrorized by Lonnie Carter, a psychotic brutal murderer on-the-loose with his girlfriend Tina and her two children.
