Black Point 2002

In Black Point, Washington, John Hawkins meets two newcomers to town: a married couple named Gus Travis and Natalie Travis. Unknown to him, the pair are bank robbers on the run with a sizable stash from their latest caper. When [John Hawkins] rescues [Natalie Travis] from a suicide attempt, he sees bruises on her body where Gus has beaten her. The two share a meal, talk about Gus, and the night ends with them being intimate.

When Gus and the rest of the gang return, John fights them off with Natalie’s help. Natalie knocks John out and tapes his hands, planning to kill him in the woods, but he escapes. Natalie returns home, injures herself, and makes it look like John is the guilty party before phoning the sheriff. It is revealed that over $20,000 in jewelry is missing, and soon both law enforcement and the criminals are in pursuit of the missing money.

Gus and his cronies find John’s friend Standing Bear and torture him for information about John. John takes him to the clinic and is arrested when he leaves. John refuses to cooperate, and Natalie insists he was not involved in the robbery. Lisa, the sheriff and an old lover of John’s, knows that she does not have the whole story, but is forced to release John for lack of evidence against him. He visits Standing Bear in the clinic and, on leaving, is met by two of Gus’s men who want to take him to meet Gus. He tells them to tell Gus he’ll be at Flanagan’s Bar at 2:00.

At Flanagan’s, he tells Gus he wants Natalie in exchange for the money. Gus and his men take John and Natalie into the woods, where John overpowers Gus’s men and escapes. Natalie escapes by car as Gus realizes she is no longer on his side.

John visits the Sea Vista Campground and finds the bag of money there, then alerts Lisa by phone. All the major players converge on the campground, where Natalie kills Gus and John burns the money in a final showdown. Lisa arrives last and Natalie decides to tell all. She goes to prison and John decides to leave the area for a job interview in San Francisco.
