James Cray (Jim Caviezel) watched as his wife was killed by Fargo (Colm Feore), a hit-and-run serial murderer. After severely injuring Fargo and going to prison for several years, James is now determined to avenge his wife's death. He drives across the country looking for Fargo's 1972 Cadillac Eldorado, which the now-disabled killer has turned into a rolling death trap. James' search is helped by a state traffic officer (Frankie Faison) and a singer (Rhona Mitra) with her own agenda.
