Sometimes the road of life leads in an unexpected direction. Recent university graduate Ryan Stewart (Nick Stojanovic) travels to Toronto with dreams of big success, but instead comes face to face with harsher realities. Jobless and out of money, Ryan must meet disappointment and defeat and make the long drive back home to eastern Canada. But things take a different turn when he picks up a clever and manipulative hitchhiker (Christian Mckenna), who begins to test Ryan's emotional and psychological limits along the way. Before long, Ryan finds he must confront not only his dangerous passenger but his own personal problems as well.
