Looking for a quiet place to work, pacifistic American math professor David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) packed up with his British wife Amy (Susan George) for the Cornish farmhouse where she grew up. The local working men hired to repair the property are quick to show their disdain for the intellectual foreigner--and the escalating campaign of harassment that follows culminates in a violent showdown, as Sumner stands his ground against a home invasion.
