Plot
While driving along a mountainous highway in Oregon to relocate, recently widowed Jessica encounters a hostile driver in a Jeep. As she tries to overtake him, he speeds up, nearly causing a collision with a semi-trailer truck. He then tailgates before veering off. Later, Jessica sees the same Jeep while refueling at a gas station.
After spending the night at a motel, Jessica is about to leave when the man from the Jeep appears, awkwardly apologizing for his earlier behavior. Jessica leaves, but soon encounters him again. He blocks the road, feigning injury with his arm in a sling and asks for a ride, claiming his car has broken down. Jessica, sensing danger, refuses and drives away. Later that night, she crashes when her trailer fishtails, discovering that the tire was slashed. The man appears, breaks into her car and drugs her; she later wakes up locked in a room in his remote cabin. He forces her to recount her husband’s suicide and hints at other previous victims.
