Vanessa (Reese Witherspoon) is a teenager doing the best with what life has given her. After her mother (Amanda Plummer) is arrested yet again, Vanessa decides to run away and live with her grandmother. Unfortunately, her car breaks down, and she is forced to accept a ride with Bob (Kiefer Sutherland), a child psychologist with a dark side. After their car ride turns sinister, Vanessa is forced to yet again struggle to live her own life.
