Synopsis: Screenwriter David Sumner travels with his wife Amy in his Jaguar to her homeland Blackwater, in the Mississippi. Amy's father has passed away and David intends to write his screenplay about Stalingrad in the house. David hires the contractor Charlie and his team to repair the roof of the Barn. Amy was the sweetheart of Charlie when she lived there and neither him nor his crew show respect to her. Charlie invites David to hunt deers with his group and him but they leave David alone in the woods and rape Amy. She does not tell to David what happened but when the drunken coach Tom Heddon calls Charlie and his friends to hunt down the slow Jeremy Niles that likes his daughter, David decides to protect not only Jeremy, but also Amy and his honor.

Okay, fine. What?

Hey, Coach.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(AMY SCREAMING)

Sh*t.

Are you okay?

Yeah. What is that?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Niles?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

No. No, no.

Don't. Don't touch it.

It hurts.

AMY:
David.

I know. I know.

I didn't do it.

I know you didn't do it.

I did it.

It was me,

and I'm sorry.

It wasn't you.

Niles, stop.

AMY:
David.

Stop it.

Amy?

AMY:
Is he...

Is he hurt? David?

You're going to be all right.

Amy, I need you

to get in the back.

Oh, my God, David.

David, he's hurt.

Come on.

Oh, my God, David.

Is that bone? David.

I didn't do it.

Baby. Baby. Baby.

We need to take

him to a hospital.

Get in back.

Sh*t.

The nearest hospital

is 40 miles away.

We're going to

take him to the house

and call an ambulance.

Oh, sh*t.

Wasn't me. I didn't do it.

DAVID:
Okay,

I got reception.

I didn't do it.

AMY:
You didn't do...

You didn't do what, Jeremy?

I didn't do it.

No, he's just babbling.

He's babbling. He's in shock.

FEMALE OPERATOR:
911.

Hello. 911?

Can't find him anywhere.

I looked in the locker room.

I looked all over

this goddamn parking lot.

I don't know where

the f*** they are.

Hey, y'all! Chris! Bic!

God damn it!

Have you seen him or not?

WOMAN:
The ambulance

has been called up

to the old Wilcox farm.

Jeremy Niles had

an accident of some kind.

He's up there.

MAN:
Thank you, Page.

We'll check into it

as soon as the game is over.

I am fixin' to kick your ass.

Wait. Just Chris.

CHARLIE:
Coach.

Sit down, you f***er.

What?

Niles is up at

the Wilcox place.

Janice with him?

They didn't say.

I guess we best get

up there and find out.

Let's go!

You up for it?

Let's do it, Coach.

Sit down.

CHRIS:
Yes, sir.

Sitting down.

Dumbshit.

Come on. Come on.

(WHOOPING)

COACH:
God damn it.

Sit down,

you f***ing dumbshit!

Okay.

Just have seat,

Jeremy.

There's no

f***ing reception!

It's Jeremy time!

(WHOOPING)

CHARLIE:
Y'all stay here.

F*** that. No, I am...

Coach.

I am going to come with you.

Coach, let's just

keep our heads here.

Let me handle it.

I'll get Niles out.

Promise.

COACH:
You best.

Stay the f***.

COACH:
Bic, Chris.

Check the barn for

that goddamn Niles.

Go on. Get.

Come on.

Does it hurt?

You're all right.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Amy.

You need to send him out.

Get him upstairs.

Send him out,

we'll all be friends.

I didn't do it.

Shh.

Is that Niles?

I didn't do it.

AMY:
It's okay.

Send him out, Amy.

It's all right.

Why do you want him, Charlie?

We need to talk with him

about what he did

to Janice Heddon.

Jeremy, come on.

Keep walking.

Well, we can't...

We can't do that, Charlie.

Look, Janice was with him,

and now she's missing.

We need to find her.

And we're going to.

Well, listen, Charlie,

we're not going

to let you take justice

into your own hands.

I don't care what

you think he did.

What the f*** are you doing?

We're not going

to take justice

in our own hands.

We just need to talk to him.

You're just going

to hurt him, Charlie.

Oh, no, you are...

You're wrong about that,

Mr. Hollywood.

We're going to do

much more than that.

Now, you send that

f***ing Niles out here,

or you are going to

see a rain of all hell

on you and your own house.

You hear?

We want that pervert!

Coach, look,

I understand you're upset.

Oh, for f***...

I know you're worried

about your daughter.

I get that,

but I can't send

him out to you.

Look, maybe you guys should be

out there looking for Janice

right now instead, you know?

I'm sure she's fine.

F*** it.

I'm going to cut

his f***in' balls off!

Want to be all nice

and polite, Charlie,

or are you going to

help me find my Janice?

Bullshit. He can't

get away with this.

That sh*t ain't right,

Charlie.

Mr. Sumner

protecting him like that.

Not when my

little girl is missing.

All right, Coach.

BIC:
Yeah.

See, we get Jeremy,

and we'll find out

what happened to Janice.

I can goddamn

promise you that.
