Spoilers ahead
On Father’s Day, Ted, William Forsythe, and Josh, Dan Byrd, are out for an afternoon drive in the country. A dog dashes across the road, sending Ted to slam on the brakes and triggering a chain of small catastrophes. He’s struck from behind by Lorraine, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, a cellist on her way to a performance gig. The impact shoves Ted’s car into a power pole, which then falls across the road and drops electrically charged lines, blocking traffic on the narrow two-lane rural highway. As they and other travelers are trapped, strangers emerge from their cars and become unlikely companions while they wait for the hazard to be cleared.
