A mother and her two children, an older sister and a younger brother, witness a man shoot their husband and father. Traumatized, the boy never speaks again. The children grow up and the girl becomes a beautiful young woman, who attracts the attention of some local men. One day while the girl is swimming alone in a natural spring in the mountains a man appears, he rapes her and she staggers back home. While at their home the boy finds that their mother has died in her bed. A while later the men, an older father, his grown son, and his sons friends, come to the house of the children and one of them rapes the girl again.
Later, they find out a social worker is making inquiries about the girl at the local post office, because the girl has collected welfare instead of her deceased mother. So the men come to the house with rifles, apparently to kill the girl and boy and a hunt begins. During this hunt for the children one of the men falls to his death, another is killed by his friend, then right before the son shoots the girl the father kills his own son.
