Two journalists, a writer, and his girlfriend decide to embark on a road trip across the United States to investigate the sites of serial murders, an idea that blends their passion for writing with a psychological edge. Along the way, they choose to share their journey with a pair of hitchhikers: a charismatic yet unsettling man and his girlfriend, who seem to be the perfect complement for the adventure. However, what begins as a curiosity-filled road trip quickly transforms into a harrowing nightmare.
As they travel across the country, the dynamics within the group become increasingly strange and tense. The stranger, who at first appears charming, begins to reveal a dark and possessive nature, filled with secrets and hidden dangers. Tensions escalate, and the journalists’ ideals of free thought and tolerance are put to the test, leading them to question their own decisions and morality.
Set against stunningly ironic landscapes and an oppressive atmosphere that grows with every mile traveled, the film traps you in an emotional whirlwind that explores the limits of madness and violence. In the end, the journey becomes an intense game of cat and mouse, where each person's life hangs by a thread, and the masks they wore fall away, revealing the terrifying truth that resides within each of them.
