A claustrophobic, paranoia-soaked slasher-mystery where isolated strangers turn on each other during a storm, building toward a psychological twist.

Complete strangers stranded at a remote desert motel during a raging storm soon find themselves the target of a deranged murderer. As their numbers thin out, the travelers begin to turn on each other, as each tries to figure out who the killer is.
