“April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn.
They’re on a long dark road, late at night, and they see a woman up ahead, clearly in trouble.

And then they see the headlights, and at last, the woman speaks, her voice faint. “I’m sorry, he’s coming.”
While April and Eddie are able to escape – this time – their terrifying adventure is only just beginning.
The hitchhiker’s injuries prove fatal, and the couple are trapped in the small town of Coldlake Falls, prime suspects in the eyes of local police.
It turns out that ..read more
