When three fugitives fresh off a casino heist stop for gas at the Six Corners Cafe in Death Valley, they encounter an unexpectedly hostile breakfast crowd. Gunshots erupt. An explosion destroys the gas station.

As the fire burns down, people are missing. Only six seem to have survived - a sheriff and his son, two of the criminals, a female doctor and a young waitress. It's a volatile and eclectic combination of survivors - the Godd, the Bad and the Cute.

The fire department never arrives. The highway is deserted. No one comes to help. No one living, that is.

The survivors discover they are trapped in an in between world, in a supernatural plane between night and day, light and dark, the living and the dead. And they are not alone. Horribly mutilated dead people mysteriously appear and warn of an inescapable killer - an evil trailing a sickening force of decay and rot.

In order to see another day, the survivors must unite, set their differences aside, and combine their skills and resources to fight off the source of these deaths - the soul collecting, terrifying killing machine known as the Reeker.
