Plot

Spencer, a socially awkward driver and Cami, a weary passenger try to make it to their destination while being haunted by a supernatural threat. They wander around in the woods while a supernatural being, the Toll Man, messes with their minds. While they're outside the car, an old woman on a tractor comes by and tells them all about the Toll Man who senses death. Cami begs the woman to call the police and her father, but she says it won't be of any help.

The three then decide to go to a detour that was a few minutes back. Cami, who is creeped out, finds an old house which they both recognise. They go in and find screens and a camera. Cami sits in front of the camera. A video appears on the screen of a man and a woman. The woman shows them that Spencer will murder Cami. The camera feed appears on the screen, and he picks up a knife, but Cami grabs a gun left on the table. They recall the old woman telling them that if the Toll Man can't see them, he can't get into their minds. So they go back to the car and cover it with dark bags. They realise that only one of them has to die.

Spencer attacks Cami and starts to grab her clothes and body, and tries to rape her. Cami stops him by killing him, with the father finally showing up as soon as the credits start.
