PlotIn a remote gas station in Denmark, Agnes, a reserved and diligent young woman, and her more outgoing colleague Belinda are working a quiet night shift. The country is abuzz with excitement over a major televised sports event, and the station witnesses a lull due to everyone staying in to watch. As the evening progresses, the monotonous routine of restocking shelves and attending to the few customers is interrupted by unsettling occurrences. Strange noises echo from the darkness outside, and Agnes receives a series of unsettling phone calls that intensify her sense of dread. The cozy confines of the station transform into a claustrophobic space filled with unease as tensions slowly build between the two women.
Oblivious to the brewing danger, Agnes and Belinda find themselves unprepared for what lies ahead. The once mundane atmosphere grows increasingly sinister as an eerie figure emerges, lurking and strategically dismantling their sense of security. As they try to piece together what is happening, they realize they are trapped. Their routine night spins out of control, leading to a harrowing confrontation with the malevolent force that has chosen their gas station as its playing field. Fear and desperation push them to their limits as they struggle for survival against their tormentor and their own mounting paranoia. This night will test their resolve as an intense and methodical game unfolds, forcing them to navigate what remains unseen in the shadows.
