For Bennett Wilder, every day is the same-head to work, do his job, and come home to his increasingly distant wife. As a man who values routine, Bennett surprises even himself when he picks up Liz Messina, a pretty hitchhiker, on his morning commute. As he quickly learns, she's got a young child, a dark past, and a debt that needs to be repaid-or else.

Even though he knows it's risky, he decides to take a chance and help Liz out. But when her trouble turns out to run even deeper than he realizes, Bennett and Liz find themselves facing off against dangerous drug dealers and fighting for their lives. Bound by bloodshed and facing a road full of wrong turns ahead, Bennett calls on an old friend with ties to a past he would rather leave hidden, as he and Liz try to decide how far they'll go to turn the tables on their pursuers-and, if they're lucky, save their own lives.
