Adrienne (Kendra Timmins,
Midnight Sun, "Wingin' It"), a
straight-A student, joins her quarterback crush Sean (Justin Kelly, Maps To The Stars, Big Muddy) and some
friends in sneaking out of their high school dance for some unsupervised
mayhem. The teens' party plans hit a
snag when they run out of gas on a deserted road. They head out on foot and discover a rundown
farmhouse where they hope to find help.
Instead they find themselves at the mercy of Junior Joad (Mark Wiebe, Sweet Karma), a cannibal killer from an
urban legend. After the brutal murder of one of their friends, the group's quest
for help becomes one of survival. Will anyone survive the night?
