Marvin Smith, who looks like a harmless older man, picks up a hitchhiker, Will Francis, and tells him he is going to the same town as Will. Will begins to get suspicious when it's obvious that Marvin doesn't know some simple things that he should know, like what a guitar case is and the difference between hard rock and acoustic music. When Marvin passes the turnoff, Will tries to get out of the car, but Marvin jabs the boy in the neck and steals his mind, his memory, and his appearance. As Marvin complains about Will's less-than-nourishing body and how it would take him an hour to rid himself of the waste, he sets his sights on Will's girlfriend's college. She works as a Barista at the most popular coffee shop on campus. As he strums an elegant acoustic song, he dreams of the fresh taste of coffee and college minds.
