Teenager Linda Blair is kidnapped by escaped mental patient Martin Sheen in remote New Mexico. He takes her to his mountain cabin where he woos her with poetry and his radical ideas of romance. She initially resists but falls under his spell. There is the inevitable tragic ending when the police catch up to them. Similar in theme to Sheen's performance in Badlands just two years earlier, but this TV movie is no masterpiece and suffers from eye-rolling dialogue and a dated soundtrack.
