Blood on the Highway

The small town Fate hosts the grand opening of Consumart as the sun sets. Shoppers stream through the doors while the store's coffins on display hint at a hidden menace. Before they can question the odd inventory, terror erupts and the building explodes into a bloodbath.

The explosion unleashes chaos across Fate and leaves the town's population in a frightened daze. Survivors scatter as an ominous silence settles over the streets. The source of the attack remains unknown, hinting at a supernatural threat looming over the town.

Three twenty-somethings—Carrie, Sam, and Bone—set out on a road trip toward Mr. Fire, a festival with Burning Man vibes. They accidentally wander into Fate, unaware that its population has transformed into vampires. Their carefree journey collides with the town's deadly secret.

Inside Fate, the trio encounters two blood-thirsty convenience-store clerks. Sam is bitten and attacked, forcing Bone to kill them in self-defense. The encounter marks their first direct brush with the town's terrifying threat.

After the incident, the three begin to question whether something sinister is happening in Fate. The town's sudden violence and eerie quiet raise suspicions about a larger, supernatural cause. They sense they are not safe in Fate anymore.

The group encounters the town's surviving humans: Byron Von Jones, a trigger-happy conspiracy theorist militia member; Lynette Von Jones, a worn white-trash hussy; and Roy Jackson, a spineless frat boy. The group forms an uneasy alliance to weather the night.

The unlikely group takes shelter in Roy's ranch house, choosing a defensible position against the looming threat. They are surrounded by hundreds of vampires who plan to torch the property before sunrise. The night becomes a tense stand for survival.

Byron Von Jones reveals himself as a loud, conspiracy-minded militia member who believes he has a plan to resist the invasion. His presence adds tension but also a spark of leadership as the group strategizes. The dynamic shifts as fear competes with resolve.

Lynette and Roy's contrasting personalities clash with the rest of the group, complicating decisions about defense and safety. The survivors must navigate personal tensions while facing the external vampire threat. The night becomes a test of trust and endurance.

Hundreds of vampires surround the ranch, closing in as the dawn approaches. The group braces for a desperate battle to keep their shelter intact until sunrise. The threat outside grows more relentless with each passing moment.

With adrenaline high and options dwindling, the group makes a last stand against the pursuing vampires. They rely on makeshift defenses and nerve, hoping to survive until the first light of day. The outcome remains uncertain as night stretches on.

As the night wears on, the group clings to hope for dawn and the end of the siege. They know Fate's transformed population stands as a looming threat even after the immediate danger passes. The town's fate, and theirs, remains hanging in the balance.
