Spoilers ahead
Tim and Allie find themselves stranded after their car breaks down in the heat of a desolate desert. With no nearby help in sight, they stumble upon a remote farmhouse and, hoping to use a phone, knock on the door. The entrance is guarded by a Charles Manson–like figure who calls himself the Preacher, a man whose presence instantly unsettles them. He and his Ukrainian wife, Oksana (also known as Helen), invite them inside and offer a night’s shelter, but the couple make it clear they expect them to be gone by morning and to stay away from spaces that aren’t explicitly open to them. The atmosphere is tense and a little eerie, but Tim and Allie try to rationalize the oddities as just local quirks and decide to stay.
