"A story about two men who escape from prison in the Canadian prairies (Alberta?). They encounter a young couple in a cabin, and begin to terrorize them. The smaller of the two, named Jamie (who may be French Canadian), emerges as a sadistic psychopath. He carves his initial J into the chest of the young woman. She escapes and hides in a duck blind. She eventually survives both of the fugitives, but maybe loses her mind."
