The premise of the story is that of a married couple, Lynn and Doug Kaines (De Mornay and Silver), owners of an exotic furniture design company, had visited Mexico, and on their night time return trip, with her at the wheel, they accidentally ran into and killed a Mexican police officer in the middle of the road. As it was, Mrs. Kaines was in her first term of pregnancy. They made no report of the accident lest they undergo the perils of a Mexican jail, but slid the dead cop to the side of the road and spirited their way back to the US. They had the front end damage to their car repaired clandestinely and had appeared to have gotten away with the incident.
Quite unexpectedly a vagabond named Jake Shell (Hauer), driving a dumpy old camper truck, shows up at their door hinting that he had witnessed the whole incident in Mexico. The character ends up being a ne’er-do-well, parasitic, and pathetic excuse for a human being. The story turns into a muddled entanglement of blackmail, on Shell’s part, and appeasement, on the Kaines’ part, that ends up in a physical confrontation with Shell and the Kaineses, along with perverse sexual innuendo, and a suspenseful attempt for the Kaines to rid themselves of this nemesis without playing their hand concerning the Mexico incident to the law.
