Nightfall
A long truck slices through the darkness. Trucker Ray has decided that this will be his last ride, but a solitary voice from the radio holds him back. Just then, he comes upon a blood-covered girl wandering down the road. Lost as she is, strolling through the darkness, he decides to take her with him. When he discovers that Ingrid has left a trail of destruction behind her and has nothing to lose, he begins to hope that she is the one to liberate him. But is he ready to leave his past behind and be free?
