The feature opens on an isolated road late at night as a young woman, driving alone, comes across a stranded male driver whose car has broken down on a mountain road notorious for disappearances and murders.

That single choice unleashes a harrowing chain of strange and terrifying events in the dead of night, turning a simple gesture of kindness into a real-life nightmare.
