SYNOPSIS
Lena wakes up in the back of a moving camper trailer with a wound she can't explain, and the driver she never sees gives her exactly one hour to reach a doctor -- or else. It's Brock Bodell's feature debut, shot almost entirely in one cramped location with a cast you can count on one hand, and whatever's actually wrong with Lena turns out to be a lot stranger than a bad road trip.
