- When a teenage girl disappears after their car breaks down in a national park, her desperate mother is accused of kidnapping, and must team up with a local mechanic to find her.
- Jessie and her daughter, Michelle, are on a road trip to Canada and randomly decide to stop by Yellowstone. The mother seems way more into it than her teenage daughter. They stop at a local diner, and Michelle goes into the diner alone for some packed food. A park ranger named Nolan takes an interest in Michelle and flirts with her by giving her bear tips. Jessie gets upset with her daughter for flirting with a man in uniform because she wants to lay low.
Back on the road, the mother-daughter duo runs into some car trouble and have no cell signal. Jessie decides to walk back to the diner because they have no cell service. Michelle stays behind after arguing with her mother over her parent's divorce.
Jessie finds an auto shop and inside finds a guy named Grant, who offers to help with the car trouble.
Meanwhile, Michelle waits for her mother and is excited when she sees the Park Ranger drive past. Nolan looks under the hood of the car and offers to give her a ride back to the station. She agrees and is then quickly syringed in the neck by the bad Park Ranger.
When Jessie and Grant return, they find Michelle missing. Grant calls the police, despite Jessie's objection. When Officer Stoddard arrives, Jessie lies to him and tells the cop that it was a false alarm. Confused, Grant goes along with the story. When Office Stoddard looks up Jessie's license, she is flagged to be detained for questioning in the kidnapping of Michelle. Jessie tries to explain that her husband is abusive. But the office arrests, put hand-cuffs on her and takes her back to the station in his patrol car for processing. Meanwhile Grant finds Mitchells ear buds by the car and senses something is wrong. He chases the patrol car and tries to communicate with the officer. With this commotion a deer crosses the road and with that distraction the patrol car runs off the road and knocks on a tree leaving the officer, wounded and temporarily unconscious. Taking the advantage of the situation, Grant and Jessie escapes in Grant's pick up.
Nolan takes Michelle to a cabin in the woods and puts her in bed. She is woozy and confused, but Nolan assures her that he will call her mother. Then he makes her a roofie sandwich. Michelle starts questioning Nolan's credentials and catches him in a few lies. She also finds a body wrapped in the shower and grabs a rifle to defend herself. Nolan gets very violent with Michelle.
Jessie and Grant head to the Ranger station and learn that Nolan is a liar/Ranger impersonator. Next, they wait for him at the diner but don't have any luck. The next morning, Jessie sees Nolan and heads inside to flirt with him thinking she too might get kidnapped like her daughter. But when that does not work out, she pulls a knife on him and takes his outside to his vehicle.
Nolan while being driven at knife-held Jessie, lies by telling that he dropped off Jessies daughter at the bus stand and takes her behind an abandoned building saying it is the parking lot of the bus terminal. There a fight ensues and Nolan overpowers Jessie and injects her too in the neck and tosses her to the back of her vehicle. Knowing that Jesse has communicated with Grant and the friend (via walkie-talkie) who are driving in search of her, he waits in hiding for them and guns down Grant and his buddy at a bogus bus station. Grant's friend dies, but Grant is only just wounded and attended by paramedics later on and tells the police officer about Nolan.
Nolan ties Jess up in the basement of his cabin and is generally creepy. (Like making out with her while talking about skinning her daughter.) He also has Michelle tied up in another cabin and harasses her maniacally. While he is harassing Michelle, Jesse unties herself and goes through the woods in search of Mitchell. She hears Mitchells screams and goes towards that direction, finding the cabin in which Mitchell is held.
Bear traps surround the cabin, and Jessie manages to use them to her advantage. She drags a trap and lures Nolan to her. He gets trapped and screams in pain as Jessie rushes into the cabin to free her daughter. Nolan crawls around and still somehow seems threatening to the women, who clearly have the upper hand.
A bear shows up and finishes him off, Michelle and Jessie run away to safety.
Grant recovers and invites Jessie and Michelle back to visit him. The divorce has been finalized, so Jessie and Grant are free to make out now. (thanks to lifetimeuncorked)
