When a young woman breaks down on a country road, she immediately finds herself being stalked and pursued by a mysterious stranger. She escapes to a nearby farm and seeks help from it's owners, an elderly farmer and his wife. The farmer agrees to let her stay with them and retrieves her car, promising to have it fixed for her in two or three days.
That night, the farmer and his wife explain to the woman that the figure that was chasing her was a man named Herman Lawson, a local hermit that lived in the surrounding woods. After a horrible accident at a young age that left Herman horribly deformed, he fled into the woods and has lived there for decades, away from the disgusted and shunning eyes of the locals.
The farmer tells her she has nothing to worry about. Herman was likely just being protective of his "territory" and wouldn't bother her any further.
But this proves untrue, as the young woman finds herself repeatedly stalked and harassed around the farm by the outcast during her stay, to which the farmer and his wife deny, claiming that Herman had never bothered anyone before, nor had he ever set foot on their farm.
It soon becomes clear that something far sinister is afoot, and not all that is said is true. This unfortunate young woman soon finds that she is alone in what soon unfolds to be a darker truth than revealed, and she is the only one she can trust.
