PLOT SUMMARY

A serial killer is stalking the badlands of Arizona. Hard bitten cop Charles Mendoza is on the case and has amassed enough circumstancial evidence to point the finger at stereo expert Paul White, living out a troubled marriage to Joan in the dry and lifeless town of Globe. The killer is working to a pattern - he only targets rich surburbanites and the killing grounds are posthumously arranged in accordance to some arcane Indian ritual. But is White really the killer?
