Life gets off to a great start for single mom Annie Walker (GREENE), when she and her young daughter move to a Pacific Northwest mountain community, and she is immediately hired as a deputy by local Sheriff Dave Ward (HAMLIN). Dave's a complex man whose handsome and affable exterior hides a sinister and manipulative mind, a "dirty cop" whose illegal dealings are never discussed by the local citizens who fear his vengeful wrath. When Annie plays the key role in a big drug bust during her first week in the department, she feels like a real part of Sheriff Ward's team. But Annie's idyllic new life begins to turn sour when Ward, a married man, begins to make inappropriate advances towards her.
At first Annie brushes off the advances, but she soon notices Dave's darker side when he beats a prisoner, a man accused of molesting his own daughter. Later, when she witnesses Dave beating a second prisoner, a defenseless teenager, and subsequently discovers that one of the bags confiscated during the drug bust is missing, Annie quickly begins to realize the Sheriff is not the easy going lawman that he portrays. She begins to suspect that Ward is not only violent, but corrupt as well. Her worst fears are confirmed when Patty Renault (DOUCETT), Dave's secretary and woman with whom he's been having a long affair, comes to Annie for solace after Dave takes out his anger on her.
Determined to bring Dave to justice, Annie convinces Patty to testify against him. Unfortunately, motivated by Dave's most recent threats against her life, Patty quickly withdraws from the fight. Discouraged and alone in her struggle, she is nearly ready to give up and move away when she is approached by the FBI, who have been monitoring Dave's illegal activities. Working with the Bureau, Annie agrees to become the bait in a dangerous trap designed to bring Ward's reign of corruption to an end. But Dave has other plans for Annie. She must work quickly before she becomes his next victim.
