A convicted murderer escapes from a secure unit on the moors, and finds himself in a small village, famous for its Beast sightings and disappearances. He's taken in and looked after by a strange lonely spinster who has taken a liking to him, but he soon begins to wonder if he was better off in prison.
A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues when a double cross by two hit men sees a business deal go sour and leaves The Target running for his life.
