Jeff and Amy Taylor are driving cross-country to California in their new Jeep when they experience car trouble in the rural Midwest. Stranded on a remote desert highway, they are aided by a seemingly helpful trucker named Red Barr who offers to give Amy a ride to a nearby diner so she can contact a tow truck. Jeff stays behind with the Jeep, but when he eventually makes it to the diner, Amy is nowhere to be found. Panic sets in as Jeff realizes that the local authorities and residents are unhelpful and that something more sinister may be at play.

Determined to find his wife, Jeff uncovers a web of deceit and peril that suggests Amy has been abducted. As he digs deeper, he becomes enmeshed in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with individuals who will stop at nothing to protect their criminal enterprise. Facing mounting obstacles and few allies, Jeff is propelled into a high-stakes fight for survival, with every second bringing him closer to uncovering the truth and saving Amy before it is too late.
