Lily and Heston come across a crashed prison van on their way back from a conference. But when they un-cuff the conscious prisoners, one becomes threatening and forces them into the back of the van. Another prisoner manages to knock the young offender unconscious and pleads with Lily to put a good word in for him. But there is nothing she can do so the prisoner disappears into the woods. As they treat the guard, he reveals his racist views and they suspect he's been drinking. But as the prisoners reveal the background behind the conflict between them, things soon get even worse.
