Packard Walsh (Nick Cassavetes) and his gang steal the cars of people they threaten into intimidation races. As a result, the entire town is scared of him, except for his ‘proclaimed’ girlfriend Keri Johnson (Sherilyn Fenn), who, in reality, wants nothing to do with Packard.
Packard’s control of the highways is suddenly targeted by the driver of a black high powered vehicle known only as the Wraith. The unknown racer arrives in town, just as a new guy named Jake Kesey (Charlie Sheen) does. Jake’s first move is on Keri, and he also befriends Billy Hankins (Matthew Barry), who was the younger brother of her ex-boyfriend. Jake asks Billy about Keri’s intentions with Packard, and Billy reveals to him that Keri was dating his brother Jamie before he was killed.
While Jake and Keri become closer, Packard’s gang gets smaller and smaller as they each take on the unknown car in one on one races and end up dead at the end of them. Sheriff Loomis (Randy Quaid) begins tracking down the car in an attempt to find out what’s going on, but the unknown driver is unstoppable.
After finally spending time with Jake during which they make love, Keri notices the similarities between Jake and her ex-boyfriend, Jamie. Packard decides to confront Keri after the last of his gang is killed by the Wraith, except for Rughead (Clint Howard) who quits the gang upon realizing who was after them and why, and he beats Billy in front of everyone at the fast food spot that he works at along with Keri. When Keri questions Packard, he reveals to her that he had Jamie killed because he felt he should have her instead of Jamie. Just as he pulls his switchblade, the Wraith appears and challenges him to one last race, which results in Packard being killed. With no gang left, Sheriff Loomis ends the investigation and the pursuit of the Wraith. Read more
