The film begins with a young man running while muttering over and over again, "Don't-" (Don't let it bring you down), the title of the film. These words are also a passionate message to the audience. A man and a woman, one chasing the other and the other being chased, a young man with a dream to make a film and the other with no time left. The love, desire, and fate of these people are depicted in this bold story. The final scene with "Love Me Tender" in the background is very moving.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
