After their van is stolen, three California teenagers on a road‑trip find themselves stranded in an isolated backwoods town. Stunt driving, which they’d handled before, proves irrelevant as the real danger comes from the town itself. The local sheriff refuses to assist, forcing the teens to confront the hostile environment on their own and turn the journey into a fight for survival.
