Stranded in a snowstorm? Bad. Being hunted inside a highway rest stop with no way out? Welcome to hell." In "No Exit", a lone rest stop in the Colorado Rockies becomes a theater of suspense and survival for a group of strangers.
Darby Thorne just wanted to make it home for Christmas, but when a blizzard strikes, she's forced to hunker down for the night with four others. But this is no ordinary layover: Darby discovers a kidnapped girl hidden in the back of a van. Now, she faces an agonizing dilemma—find out who among them is the kidnapper, without becoming the next victim. As the hours tick by and the storm rages on, alliances form, secrets emerge, and Darby must summon every ounce of her wit and courage to outsmart a cunning villain. A sleepless night turns into a game of cat and mouse, and one thing becomes crystal clear—there’s no exit, and someone won't make it till morning.
