The Atonement Killer is killing young women along Interstate 40, and all the FBI has is a tenuous profile--a religious zealot bent on ritualistic sacrifice. However, when a small town female cop, JOLENE DYKES, crosses paths with the killer, the FBI at last has an eyewitness. Problem is, Jolene has no faith in the Bureau and decides to stalk the killer alone across the interstates to administer her own version of atonement.
