In Berredo, Texas, four hours from El Paso, Buck Powell pretends to be a police officer, shams the school administration, and abducts student Nathan Wheeler. The victim's seventeen years old girlfriend Amy Sterling becomes concerned about him because he never made it to the police station. Amy thinks nasty peer Zeb Mulroney, who she dated until she saw his abusive side, kidnapped Nate, but no one believes her as the evidence including two eye witnesses from the school points to his cousin Buck.

Amy's mother Lucinda persuades former El Paso cop, her tenant and lover Devon Gray to investigate. Reluctantly he does to pacify the teen as much as he also likes her and her mother. Accompanied by the two females who have given him a reason to live, Devon searches the nearby mountain roads for the missing lad. However, unbeknownst to him or the local police Zeb is the mastermind behind the abduction as he plans to hurt Nate for going out with his girl.

This is an intriguing regional thriller that moves on several paths to include a minor police procedural, a major private investigation, and a chilling abuse of the victim by his kidnappers. The story line grips the audience who wonder what Zeb will do next, but it is the deep cast to include a young drifter that turns ENDLESS RIVER into a fine Texas thriller.
