Five years after being convicted for the abuse of a minor, Leonard Karlsson is released from prison bearing a hideously disfigured face, the result of the routine beatings regularly handed out by fellow prisoners to those guilty of crimes against children. Scarred and barely recognizable, Karlsson conceals his wounds beneath a bizarre mask and returns to the remote, Arizona desert town in which his trial was held, determined to settle the score with the dozen jury members responsible for his incarceration.

Unaware of Karlsson's release and of their own terrifying connection to several out of town serial killings, friends and fellow diner waitresses Claire and Vicki enlighten their humdrum lives with dreams of upping their roots and moving to LA. But when an FBI agent (Brand) in town investigating the murders goes missing along with several of the local townsfolk, the two friends realize that the man whose fate they decided five years ago is about to decide theirs... and if they're lucky, it'll only be a death sentence.
