A Deadly Roadside Nightmare

00:00

Imagine being trapped in a remote mountain rest stop during a blizzard, only to discover that one of your fellow stranded travelers has a kidnapped child locked in their van. This is the nightmare Darby Thorne faces in "No Exit" when a desperate drive to see her dying mother turns into a fight for survival. What begins as bad luck - being caught in a snowstorm on December 23rd with failing windshield wipers on treacherous Backbone Pass - transforms into something far more sinister when Darby seeks refuge at the Wanapa rest stop. Inside, she meets four strangers: chatty Ashley with his asthma inhaler, middle-aged Ed with a drinking problem, his cousin Sandi absorbed in her tablet, and Lars, a thin young man with unsettling watchfulness. When Darby steps outside to find cell service and glimpses a child's hand reaching through bars inside a van, her priorities instantly shift. Someone among these seemingly ordinary travelers is a predator, and Darby must determine who before time runs out for the imprisoned child.
