One boy wants her love. One boy wants her dead.

Thriller

Charlie Cox should have stopped for gas in California. While he's on a cross-country trip with his teenage daughter, Joleen, his car hits empty in a creepy town in Nevada. With nary a drop of fuel to be found, Charlie and Joleen stop for the night at a dilapidated trailer park. There, Joleen catches the eye of two teenage boys, Jimmy and Pinky -- either of whom could be the serial killer currently terrorizing the town.

VIBE

A sun-baked, dusty thriller where simmering adolescent tension meets a creeping sense of dread. The desert heat feels suffocating as paranoia mounts, making every interaction feel charged with unspoken danger. A slow-burn descent into unease.
