Having kidnapped his son from the religious cult he abandoned with his ex-wife Sarah (Dunst), Roy must protect Alton from its leader Calvin Meyer (Sam Shepard) as well as government agent Paul Sevier (Driver) who are both in close pursuit. Driving only at night, Roy and his brother Lucas (Edgerton) let Alton guide them cross-country for reasons only the child knows.
