When a couple's(Kurt Russell & Kathleen Quinlen) car breaks down, they accept help by a trucker. The wife takes a ride with the helpful trucker to a nearby truckstop....but never makes it there. What seems like a helpful gesture turns out to be a day from hell. No one will help him...why? Or is it because most of the town know, or know not to talk about it. Great movie, with a terrific job by the always dependable Kurt Russell.
