Plot – Jeff is on a road trip from Boston to San Diego with his wife Amy. Driving on the highway in the desert of the Southwest, the car breaks down. The situation is delicate because the place is isolated and far away from the nearest village. After some time, a big truck comes along. Red, the driver, stops and offers the couple a ride to the nearest place to eat. Jeff, however, wants to stay to guard the car and sends Amy alone. Soon after Jeff manages to restart the car, reaches the place indicated by Red and asks for his wife but no one has ever seen her. Anxious and nervous, Jeff begins to suspect that they are all lying. He then gets back on the road and meets Red again, who denies knowing him. Even the police do not believe the insistence of Jeff and would like to arrest him to avoid him creating problems. Jeff escapes and, by himself, begins the search for his wife. He finally finds her, prisoner of the truck driver who was acting on behalf of a gang that made tourists and passersby disappear. After a shootout and a chase, Jeff knocks Red off the bridge. Jeff and Amy are alone and the nightmare is over.
