Dead Stop

The Textro Truck Stop is quiet on a slow Friday night. Business is not expected to pick up until a football game lets out in nearby Masonfield. Deke, with his friend Harley, has come in hoping to find romance. Rachel Sutherland is trying to shake off a rough day at her clinic. Thomas "Grandpa Tom" Burns and "Leaping" Larry Brown stop in for fuel and coffee, and across the room Holly is working to get her awkward boyfriend, Gerald, home. The waitresses Stacey and Marisa handle the few customers while they wait for the game crowd.

A storm moves in, and the people who come in with it are not from Masonfield, or not anymore. They have come from the Mazon County Cemetery, and they have their own plans for the menu. A shrinking group of locals, waitresses, truckers, travelers and one stunned veterinarian must fight for their lives against an enemy they had only known from films.

As the night drags on, the survivors realize that if they cannot get away before dawn, they will lose any chance of escape.
