Esteban is on the run. The FBI wants him back as star/only witness against a drug lord, who wants him dead and sends killers on his trail. It comes to a showdown in a small southern town.

Esteban, a mysterious figure involved in a drug deal of some kind, arrives in a quiet desert town. He signs in at the local hotel using the name 'Gene Gere', which happens to be the name of an FBI agent in Los Angeles working on the same drug deal. While Gere tries to track down Esteban's whereabouts, the town's sheriff is also starting to get suspicious about the stranger's activities.—Jean-Marc Rocher <[email protected]>
