As her boyfriend drops her off for the night shift, 18-year-old JESSIE is left alone with her boss, 20-year-old CHARLIE, at a remote convenience store and gas station. A mysterious pickup truck arrives, and its driver watches them before leaving. Later, the truck returns, and the driver sexually harasses Jessie, leading Charlie to throw him out. The situation escalates when Jessie's friend CINDY joins them, and they play Truth or Dare to pass the time. However, the night takes a deadly turn when the Man returns, brutally murdering Cindy and then OFFICER MCKAY, before hunting for Charlie and Jessie. As they try to call for help, they find themselves alone and isolated. In a desperate attempt to survive, they fight back against the Man, leading to a final confrontation, with Jessie eventually shooting the Man. As OFFICER JAMISON debriefs the events from the night with Charlie and Jessie, the Man slowly pulls himself up to the counter and grabs the gun Jessie used to shoot him. Officer Jamison draws his gun and shoots the Man in the chest. With their lives forever changed, Jessie and Charlie cling to each other for comfort.
