In this remake of the 1971 classic Straw Dogs, David and Amy Summer (Marsden and Bosworth), a Hollywood screenwriter and his actress wife, return to her small hometown in the deep South to prepare the family home for sale after her father's death. Once there, tensions build in their marriage and old conflicts reemerge with the locals, including Amy's ex-boyfriend Charlie (Skarsgard), leading to a violent confirmation. Based on the ABC motion picture screenplay by David Zelag Goodman and Sam Peckinpah, and the novel The Siege Of Trencher's Farm by Gordon Williams. (Gary Reber)
