Lou Ford è il vicesceriffo di una piccola città del Texas. La cosa peggiore che si può dire di lui è che è un po' noioso, un po' troppo lento, a volte saccente. Ma nessuno immagina il suo male nascosto, la malattia che lo ha quasi rovinato quando era giovane. E quel male è di nuovo sul punto di tornare in superficie, irrefrenabile e violento. Perché la vita non ha niente da dare agli uomini come Lou, se non brevi momenti di feroce energia sempre raggelati dall'oceano nero del destino.
