Midnight Ride

Lara and her husband Lawson, a military police turned cop, clash in a heated argument. She storms off into the night, convinced he cares more about his job than their marriage. This marks the start of a night she won't forget.

On the night road, Lara spots a mournful hitchhiker named Justin Mckay and offers him a lift. He appears disturbed and desperate, hinting at the danger he carries. The seemingly simple ride spirals into a nightmare.

Justin's disturbed past surfaces as the ride progresses. He is twisted by a brutal childhood and carries a Polaroid camera to record his victims, revealing a chilling killer on the loose. Lara's sense of safety drains away with every mile.

On the road, Lawson struggles along with a leg cast as Justin leaves him for dead. He survives and begins a desperate search for Lara through the dark roads. His determination sets up a parallel chase across the night.

Lara is captured by Justin and dragged into his night of terror as he continues his murderous rampage. He leaves a trail of carnage across the dark roads, showing no mercy to those who cross him. Lara's pleas go ignored as the figure behind the camera looms closer.

They reach the hospital; Justin uses manipulation to control the situation and appear to the staff as normal. He imposes his own rules, complicating Lara's attempt to seek help. The hospital becomes a battleground between his psyche and the chance for safety.

Dr Hardy tries to assist Justin in treating Lara, but Justin ignores him and insists on electric shocks for Lara. The hospital staff are drawn into a deadly power struggle under Justin's control. Lara faces a brutal and controlled assault on her body.

Lawson arrives through a hospital ventilation shaft and confronts Justin in the hospital room. He stops Justin's immediate harm to Lara and sets up a tense showdown. Their struggle turns the hospital into a battlefield of survival.

Lawson chases Justin down to the engineers' room, tackles him, and hurls him into a current, electrocuting him to death. The immediate threat to Lara seems to be over, but the danger lingers in the next moment. The hospital's dark corridors echo with the aftermath of the confrontation.

Lawson and Lara head toward an elevator, and Lawson forgives Lara, declaring that she is more important than his work. Unbeknownst to them, Justin has survived and is secretly disguised as a patient in the elevator. The couple's moment of relief is undercut by the threat unseen among them.

In the confined space of the elevator, Justin lunges with a knife, attempting to kill both of them. Lawson acts fast, seizing the situation and shooting Justin in the head, ending his threat for good. The night leaves the hospital with a grim, hard-won victory for the survivors.
