Synopsis/Details
On Hallowe'en, a pair of cops are called to the Centre to check out a suspected kidnapping; Sean has stolen a priceless item from his Yakuza bosses and arrives at the Travel Centre to rendezvous with his girlfriend Laura, blissfully unaware she is about to double-cross him; John, a wife-beating bully, arrives with his wife Alice, to carry out a nasty plan - he has hired a killer to murder her so he can cash in her life insurance; for Stella and Rebecca, Hallowe'en is a night of sexy costumes and raunchy sex - if they manage to make it to their party alive; and mechanical trouble forces Ray to make a stop at the Centre - he has a tied-up woman in the back of his van, but all is not as it appears.
As the night progresses, dark and bloody events begin to unravel at the Travel Centre as the various parties work their plots and cross paths.
Laura leads the Yakuza to the Travel Centre motel where they torture Sean, but her escape plan runs into difficulty due to a power cut and now the inhuman - in more than one sense - gangsters are hot on her trail too.
The police intercept Ray, and discover he is actually a bounty hunter transporting his latest mark - Shelby, a cold and vicious serial killer. They return to his van to discover she has escaped and is on the loose somewhere in the Centre.
John's hitman tortures and kills Alice, but this is Hallowe'en, and on the night of the dead her vengeful ghost will not lie quiet.
Stella tangles with a biker girl who is not what she seems, and Rebecca gets caught up in a bloody, botched gas station robbery.
Before this night is over, blood will flow and the bodycount will rise at the Travel Centre. Who will be left alive to see the dawn?
