Red Kenny is an eighteen-year-old embarking on what should be a fun-filled road trip to the beach for Spring Break with her close-knit group of friends. Spirits are high as they set off in an RV, but the excitement quickly turns into terror when their vehicle breaks down in an isolated area.
As the friends struggle to figure out what went wrong, the situation takes a chilling turn: a sniper has targeted them, shooting out the wheels of their RV one by one. It's no accident, and it's clear the sniper knows exactly who they are. Each friend harbours secrets, but one of those secrets is deadly enough to kill for.
Locked in a tense game of cat-and-mouse with their unseen assailant, the group desperately attempts to seek help. However, as the night unfolds, buried secrets are forced into the open, and simmering tensions reach deadly heights. The stakes are life and death, and with each passing moment, it becomes evident that not everyone will survive until dawn.
