The film stars Jules Willcox as a young woman who desperately tries to escape a deranged and bloodthirsty psychopath (Marc Menchaca) in the wilderness.

While driving along a mountainous highway in Oregon to relocate, recently widowed Jessica encounters a hostile driver in a Jeep.

After spending the night at a motel, Jessica is about to leave when the man from the Jeep appears, awkwardly apologizing for his earlier behavior.

He blocks the road, feigning injury with his arm in a sling and asks for a ride, claiming his car has broken down.

The next morning, while the man disposes of Robert’s body, Jessica sneaks into his Jeep, steals his phone and hides in the trunk.

"[12] Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Top-tier performances from Jules Willcox and Marc Menchaca provide 98 minutes of heart-pounding diversion.

Club gave it a B grade, writing: "there's something deeply appealing about an already stripped-down cat-and-mouse scenario that becomes dirtier and more elemental as it goes along, tracing a devolutionary arc from the rules of the road to primeval combat."
