California, Mojave Desert, 1998. A strange glow appears in the sky. Sam, a forty-something door-to-door salesman, travels through the few inhabited zones of the Californian desert in search of clients, yet everything seems deserted. What"s more, his wife won"t answer his calls. It"s as if everyone were avoiding him. When his car breaks down, Sam becomes a prisoner of the empty, hostile environment. Alone and without human contact for days on end, he listens continuously to a talk-show on the only local radio station. The host, a man named Eddy, takes calls from listeners who share their thoughts on a child killer at large in the area. At the same time, Sam starts getting psychologically harassed by strange threats he receives on his pager. Gradually, people begin to reappear and attempt to kill him. Sam has become a target and he must now defend himself. Little by little he loses it, caught up in a paranoid identity crisis. Is he truly the killer they"re after, or is he being driven ... 加州公路沙漠景色与电音复古配乐很加分，风格与摄影做到了独特精致，偏向于神秘集团之阴谋的故事却仿佛暗含了如天谴降临之天际红光的超自然力量，但细想又好像可看作科幻元素一瞥，总之导演对情节进行模糊化/不确定性处理反倒是渲染了不少可供揣测的神秘感。最后一段集体追杀那场戏惊悚感十足。
