Travis is chased by an obsessed psychopath; who won't stop until he gets what he wants, Marcia Travis's girlfriend. Unknown to Travis is why this man has singled him out. The headlights dissect him as if a surgical scalpel hovering over an anesthetized patient; unable to run and not designed to fight. He stands waiting for his executioner who taunts him in his last moments of life. His life whirls about him as regret of not being able to have time to resolve his sudden breakup with Marcia tortures his mind more than Oswald could ever do.
