Enter her first customer, Jack (Barry Watson), a disheveled twenty-something who appears very frightened. He claims that three angry surfers are chasing him--but when the surfers finally arrive at the restaurant, they don't appear to be dangerous.
Radha Mitchell ( Pitch Black) stars as the lone employee at a middle-of-nowhere diner (it used to be a bustling joint, she explains, before they shut down the highway that ran next to it) who finds herself under attack after harboring a supposedly innocent victim.
A young drifter named Jack Barrett (Barry Watson of TV's 7TH HEAVEN) appears at the diner one day, a knife wound to the abdomen. He tells her that he is being chased, and, soon enough, three men (Josh Lucas, Jonathan Blick, Eryn Wilson), claiming to be surfers, show up (in a Volvo, of all cars).
Don't know who to trust at times, and Josh Lucas makes an ominous villain. Loved the ending.
