Laura and Olivia are driving through desolate hill country when truck headlights fill their rearview mirror. The remote road has no cell towers and no places to hide. What looks like road rage becomes something much worse. The men in the truck don't just want to scare them. They want to hunt them. The pursuit pushes Laura and Olivia away from the main route into wilder terrain. Every mile takes them farther from help and closer to wilderness. They must choose between staying with their car or fleeing into the dangerous hills on foot. Their attackers know this territory better. The threat grows worse when Laura and Olivia realize escape won't work. The men following them have orchestrated this attack. The women face a brutal decision: accept their fate as prey or fight back against their predators. Living through this will force them to overcome terror and fight with violence. The mountains that promised safety might become their final battlefield.
