Peril (2001)

In the tranquil solitude of a low-security mental facility near Rutland, Vermont, the calm is shattered when Vincent, a patient on the brink of release, erupts in a violent frenzy. The bloodshed claims four lives, and Vincent vanishes into the wilderness. As dawn breaks, an air of urgency descends upon Scott and Terry. The pair are in a race against time to unearth a fortune hidden years ago by Scott's brother. The treasure's imminent burial beneath the waters of a local dam, due for release, lights a fire under their quest. Scott's desperation is amplified by the pressing need for a life-altering surgery to free him from the chains of a debilitating bone disease. Adding layers to this high-stakes drama, Scott's elder brother, the town's leading detective, is hot on Vincent's trail, oblivious to his sibling's clandestine mission. Fate weaves a tense tapestry as these parallel threads converge; Vincent abducts Terry, and Scott finds himself battling not only the rising tide but also the ticking clock. Immerse yourself in this thrilling narrative where every second counts, the past haunts the present, and survival hangs on a thread, as Scott confronts his personal demons and a dangerous fugitive in an effort to reclaim his future.
