This suspenseful and twist-filled thriller begins after a married accountant, Grant (Leo Grillo), is caught in a roadside motel having an affair with a beautiful seductress named Marissa (Katherine Heigl) that he met in a Vegas casino. When her enraged boyfriend, Joey, (Tom Sizemore) busts in on them, Grant is forced into hand to hand combat and inadvertently kills him. Faced with the harsh reality of betrayal and murder Grant and Marissa are forced into the desert to dispose of the body. On the lone deserted Zyzzyx Road they think of a plan to bury the corpse. However, much to their surprise the body is missing. Grant continues to question reality as seemingly impossible things begin to happen. Suffering from fear, fatigue, and a gaping head wound, Grant begins to question what the realities of his life are. Is Marissa as innocent as I thought or have I been set-up? Is Joey really dead or did I imagine killing him? As the night progresses, Grant finds himself in a more volatile situation. After fighting the very much alive Joey to a stale-mate, the two men begin to reconcile their differences. Perhaps they were both the victims all along. Eventually the action leads to an abandoned meth lab where Grant begins to question the intentions of Marissa. To complicate matters he runs into a desert-rat meth dealer (Rickey Medlocke) who is only getting in the way. When all is said and done Grant needs to make some serious choices. Is Joey or Marissa telling the truth? Is Grant willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Marissa, a girl who before tonight he never even knew? Who is to blame for Grant's predicament? Him? His nagging wife? Marissa the seductress? Grant needs to make a conscious decision, and does... with ultimate consequences in the unpredictable story that will keep you guessing all the way to the end. --© Leo Grillo Productions [More]
