Synopsis/Details
Jody and Carl, employees at a quiet mountain outpost and tourist station, are preparing to close for the night during the final evening of a local festival. But when a violent storm causes a tree to block the only exit road, a group of stranded travelers arrive unexpectedly, seeking refuge until morning. With no way out and communications down, Jody and Carl reluctantly agree to host them.
Among the guests: a married couple, a drifter, and others who all seem to have something to hide. As the night unfolds, strange behavior and rising tensions give way to violence—revealing that a serial killer is hiding among them. But the killer isn’t the only one with a secret. Unbeknownst to the group, a detective in disguise is also among the guests, playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse as identities unravel and survival becomes the only goal.
