When Rachel arrives at the ranch with Marie, a fifteen-year-old fearful girl with serious anger issues, Michael assures her that she will be safe here. The following morning Fox discovers that a stream, the prime source of water for the ranch livestock, has been contaminated. Michael, Vic and Pin, who is vacationing at the ranch, set off on horseback travelling upstream in an attempt to locate the source of the pollution. They eventually locate the point of origin amongst a sea of garbage and assorted toxic waste containers. They also find a very ill young girl, alone, in a cabin. Michael scoops up the girl and rushes off to a medical clinic, leaving Vic and Pin behind to investigate the site. The two are soon captured by the girl's brother, her father and a cohort who, after learning the name of their ranch, lock them in the basement of the cabin. It seems that this trio of misfits, now intent on getting the girl back, have long been involved in the illegal disposal of toxic waste.
