Spoilers ahead
Nicholas runs an isolated gas station out in the countryside, a quiet hub where the night shifts feel like they happen at a different pace from the rest of the world. One evening, he gives a young woman driver directions to Twin Falls, then, after she leaves, he calls someone on a special telephone that seems to reach beyond the ordinary. Not long after, two men, Toby, [John Carradine], and Grego, [Pat McKee], block the road with a barricade and uncover a hidden path that leads to trouble. They capture the driver, making her the third missing woman on Laurel Road that month, a grim pattern that the locals begin to fear more and more.
