Spoilers ahead

Lone drifter Rourke (Johnny Strong) arrives at an isolated gas station in a car outfitted with makeshift armor. As he explores his surroundings, he stumbles upon an open deep freezer that emits growls from within. Quickly locking it, he attaches one end of a chain to the freezer and the other to his vehicle. With some effort, he drags the container out, only to shoot the lock open upon exiting. A female creature spills out, screaming as sunlight scalds her, leaving Rourke frozen in place before he drives away.
