On a frozen highway in the remote Canadian North, an Indigenous woman and her dog are hunted by a stranger in a semi truck. Tracy (Roseanne Supernault) is on a 12 hour road trip with her dog Pretzel, trying to get home before her mom passes into the spirit world. Tracy’s alone – except – for a truck driver that’s following her. The big rig starts to toy with her, like a cat playing with a mouse. Night’s coming, the temperature drops, gas is low. By the time Tracy realizes she’s being stalked, it’s too late to turn back, she has no choice but fight for her life.
