A mysterious fugitive, known only as The Man, wanders through rural South Africa, until he is taken in by a small town minister. However, when the minister makes it clear his motives for taking in The Man are not completely altruistic, it results in a confrontation that leaves the minister dead. In order to escape detection, The Man assumes the identity of the minister, whose body he hides in a quarry. The Man begins playing the role of the minister, giving sermons that surprise himself, as he had not been a religious man before. Now, however, as a racist police captain begins rounding up innocent suspects, he begins to battle with his conscience. Intense and suspenseful, THE QUARRY is a rare thought provoking thriller.
