PlotA strained couple finds themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere after their car breaks down. Seeking refuge, they check into a secluded, rundown motel for the night. With no cell phone reception and a flickering hope of rekindling their failing relationship, the two try to make the best of their unfortunate situation. However, their discomfort quickly turns into terror when they discover a set of unmarked videotapes in their room, each showing gruesome footage of previous guests being murdered.
As they delve deeper into the horrifying truth behind the motel and its manager, the couple realizes that they have become the next targets of a snuff film operation. With time running out, they must find a way to escape before they become the stars of the next video. Their fight for survival pushes them to their limits, forcing them to confront not only their captors but also the fragility of their own relationship and survival instincts.
