They take up a trip to relocate to a new place and give a new beginning to their lives. While they are crossing the Mojave desert, the couple’s car breaks down mysteriously.

While the couple is facing the difficult problem, they have no idea that a sniper has set them as his target from a mile’s distance. And when they sense the danger lurking in their lives, they get pinned down behind their car. But, it doesn’t help their cause much, as they are surrounded in all directions by a large open ground.

Because of the fierce blizzard, the roads become impassable. So, Darby Thorne is forced to take shelter in a distant rest stop on the highway and wait until the storm stops.

There, she is shocked to see a small girl locked inside an animal cage and kept in a van parked beside her car. This shocking discovery raises numerous questions whose answers Darby is desperate to find. She wonders who the child is? Who has kidnapped her and Why? Darby tries to look for ways to save the child. The situation turns very dangerous when other travelers become aware of Darby’s discovery. She is sure that one among them is the kidnapper. But, the biggest problem is that there is no network coverage, no telephone in the inn, and the whole area is locked down due to the storm. Darby Thorne feels she is trapped in a very deadly situation and her life is on the line with that of the child. She knows she must quickly find a way to take out the girl and escape.
