In the tradition of The River Wild and Deliverance, Dead Ahead delivers an electrifying mix of pulse-pounding thrills and wilderness action-adventure.  Maura Loch, a skilled archer, is enjoying a family camping trip until a heated argument causes her husband to leave.  Maura stays behind with her son and daughter, but they're not alone for long.  Four bankrobbers, led by a vicious killer named Frank, descend upon the campground, terrorizing the women and taking the boy hostage.  With Maura's son as their guide, Frank and his men head toward the remote airstrip where their getaway plane awaits.  Meanwhile, armed only with a bow and arrows, Maura tracks the ruthless criminals, battling her worst fears and the dangers of the wild in a do-or-die effort to save her son.
