Set deep in the untamed backwoods of Virginia, HEADER depicts the collision course between ATF Agent Stewart Cummings and ex-con Travis Clyde Tuckton. Stew's sickly wife puts a major strain on his wallet, forcing him to traffic drugs to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Travis returns to live with Pappy Martin, who mentors him about family feuds, sexual perversion, and most importantly, how to exact revenge on one's enemies. Desperation, rape, and murder spiral out of control triggering a hellish conclusion that defies description.
