As fear spreads across Uganda about a serial killer haunting the highways, an off-duty police officer drives an elderly witness from a remote village back to town. Along the way, he picks up an injured stranger who begins recounting the violent events that led him to the roadside. As the journey unfolds, suspicion grows inside the car, and the officer realizes the truth may be far more dangerous than the story being told.
