Intensity is about a 26-year-old woman named Chyna Shepherd, who had a very troubled upbringing. Just when things seemed to be going better for Chyna, she has a run-in with a serial killer named Edgler Vess, whom she witnesses murdering the family of a friend she is visiting. Chyna survives the attack and hides in the killer's vehicle while he drives in order to get revenge for the murders. She learns that Edgler is keeping a little girl captive, and she will stop at nothing to help save her.

While at the home, she witnesses the cruel death of various captives of Vess, along with memories of her disturbed mother and horrible childhood.

Plot Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Based on a book by Dean Koontz, who also served as one of the executive producers, this Canadian telefilm directed by Yves Simoneau (Mother's Boys) concerns a young psychology student named Chyna Shepherd. She's played by Molly Parker (who was so wonderful in the 1996 cult film Kissed) as a troubled woman with a frightening past, which is seen in disturbing flashbacks. Chyna attempts to exorcise her own demons by rescuing a 15-year-old girl named Ariel (Tori Paul) from the brilliant but completely insane serial killer Edgler Vess (John C. McGinley). Vess has kidnapped Ariel and is holding her captive in his remote cabin, and only Chyna can save her.
