Plot summary
Violent deaths and a missing young woman draw Sam Hallaway and Elizabeth Anderson, agents of the FBI, to a Nebraska town where three people who came through a bloodbath are waiting to be questioned. Stephanie is a girl; Bobbi Prescott uses cocaine; Officer Jack Bennett has a bandaged hand and a foul mouth. Cameras are set up in three rooms, and each witness describes what brought them to the county road the day before. Captain Billings and officers Degrasso and Wright sit in while Hallaway listens and watches from another room, and the stories do not line up. Elsewhere, Bennett and his partner Officer Jim Conrad shoot the tires of cars on an isolated county road, then tell the drivers that speeding blew them out.
