George (Costner) and Margaret (Lane) live with their grandson and widowed daughter-in-law Lorna (Carter) on a ranch in Montanta.  Lorna remarries. Her husband is abusive and forces her and the boy to return to his family in North Dakota.

Margaret and George go after them and it turns ugly. It’s suspenseful for a while but ends up being one of those films about senseless evil violent people who attack the good and righteous.

Lesley Manville is good but why did she want to be in this unlikely and unpleasant film?
