With the roads flooded and communications down, tensions rise as they're forced to wait out the storm together. The evening takes a horrific turn when they discover a vicious murderer is lurking among them, after finding the body of one of the guests.
As the night progresses, more bodies pile up, and the survivors scramble to uncover the killer's identity. They realize there might be a connection between them, despite initially appearing to be strangers. Each person's secrets start surfacing, as paranoia and fear escalate.
