Synopsis
On April 6, 2001, Anne Sluti (Sara Canning), an all-American 17-year-old from Ravenna, Nebraska, is seen running on a track at her high school as her boyfriend, Gary, and her best friend, Paige, watch. Gary gives Anne a teddy bear for their anniversary. Anne then departs with her best friend, but before she does so, she promises Gary that she'll pick up his CD at the mall. At home, Anne is surprised to see that her older brother, Tom (Brian Edward Roach), is on leave from the military. Anne's mother, Elaine (Diana Reis), presents Anne with her acceptance letter from college. Anne is excited and says she wants to tell Gary and Paige; her dad (Tom Anniko) gives her money to pick up the CD. Anne is next seen exiting the mall. Suddenly, when she is about to get into her car, Tony Zappa (James Van Der Beek) comes up behind her and drags her to his car. Anne begins screaming as onlookers call 911; Anne escapes from the car as Tony punches her in the stomach, throws Anne in the car, and drives off.Actors

Sheriff Grady Barnes (Gary Busey) finds a trail in the woods which leads him to parts of the hermit's body.
