Soft spoken Francis Bodean loves her brothers dearly, but yearns for a life beyond their farm. When her relationship with an enigmatic visitor becomes intimate, Francis must unlock a dark secret to flower into her own.

The foul-mouthed, wheelchair-bound Mr. Rush introduces three adventure tales inspired by the EC Comics of the 1950s: "Showdown," "King of the Road," and "Yellow." This star-studded telefilm was an attempt to launch a second anthology series in the mold of "Tales from the Crypt." When the film failed to generate sufficient interest, the three tales were re-edited and shown as "Crypt" episodes.
