Jason Newman is a desperate man ready to give up in the face of impossible odds in the form of terminal cancer. One night, he meets a man with an unusual offer. He will hunt Jason until sundown in a secret location. If Jason survives, he'll get anything he wants. If he's caught, the Hunter will put a bullet in his head.
