Plot summary
Earl Raymond Diggs ( Kyle MacLachlan ), a murderer that has recently escaped prison, is running for the Mexican border. He is pursued by a state trooper ( George DelHoyo ) that ends up slapping the handcuffs on him. Diggs manages to kill the trooper, but the trooper manages to swallow the key before dying. With no other options to remove the cuffs, Diggs is forced to drag the trooper's corpse across the desert to freedom, all the while being stalked by a hungry vulture.
