Plot In a small town in Texas, Native American Jason Longshadow is harassed by racist patrons of a local bar, spurring a physical altercation. As Jason leaves, fifteen-year-old Melissa Morgan, who has just moved there, arrives, having become lost. Jason warns her that she is in a seedy part of town, and urges her to leave. Locals Hank Burke and Johnny Franklin interrupt the conversation, and Johnny offers to give Melissa a ride home, leaving Hank to walk. Johnny takes Melissa to a rural location and the two begin to make out, but Melissa asks him to bring her home after he tells her they are at the site of an Indian burial ground. While parked outside Melissa's house, Melissa tells Johnny that they have moved there because her father, John, is an archeologist overseeing a local excavation of Native American artifacts, and that her mother, Joanne, was raised in the area. En route home, Johnny's truck breaks down. He begins walking, only to be stabbed to death by an unseen assailant. Dan Burke, Hank's dad, who is also the local sheriff, gets a call from Billy Franklin, Johnny's drunkard older brother, about Johnny not having come home the night before. Dan takes Hank and his sister Marci to look for Johnny's truck. They soon locate it, and Marci stumbles upon Johnny's butchered corpse in a pile of underbrush. At school, Dan gets permission from Melissa's parents to question her about the events of the night before. Melissa recalls her encounter with Jason, who has coincidentally been hired to assist on John's archeological dig. Dan and John question Jason, but Jason explains that his conversation with Melissa was innocuous. At school, Melissa meets Tommy Jackson, and they make plans to meet behind Earl's bar. While Tommy waits for Melissa, he is stabbed to death by the unseen assailant. Melissa arrives and is startled outside the bar by an elderly Native man, Greyfeather, causing her to knock over a stack of boxes, revealing Tommy's bloody corpse. Police arrive,
