Somewhere in backwoods Vermont, a young woman refuses to back down in the face of threats from a violent local villain. Her boyfriend has fled the state in fear, and local law enforcement can do nothing to protect her. And so she resolves not only to stand her ground, but also to fight back. A pair of unlikely allies – Lester, a crafty old-timer, and Nate, built like a tractor and not much smarter – join her cause, willing to do whatever it takes. An eccentric Greek chorus of locals – wry, witty, sceptical, and not always entirely sober – keep a running commentary in the background as the threesome's quest reaches its terrifying conclusion.
