Spoilers ahead
Tess Thorne, Maria Bello, a successful crime-mystery writer, is invited to a library in upstate Massachusetts for a meet-and-greet with fans. Because she fears flying, she prefers long drives to travel to engagements, a habit that colors her careful, self-contained approach to life. After the event, Ramona, Ann Dowd, the organizer, suggests a quicker route home, hoping to spare Tess a tougher journey than she’s used to. The proposed shortcut, however, leads Tess into a remote rural stretch where danger waits on a road littered with nails laid across planks. The tire puncture happens near an abandoned gas station, and without any cell signal, Tess clings to the hope that someone will stop to help.
