Two friends on a fishing trip pick up a stranded motorist who turns out to be a psychotic escaped convict.

His destination is a ferryboat in Baja, California, which he hopes will help him get to the mainland. The hostages hope to stay alive long enough to escape or be rescued by Mexican authorities.
