Synopsis: An innocent joyride is not all it seems when Rich discovers that his brother and a friend have kidnapped a black teen and thrown him in the back of their truck. Trapped with his brother’s girlfriend, it becomes clear that the humiliation and cruelty are but a prelude of the true purpose of the drive: a lynching.
