It’s the backwoods of Virginia in the autumn of 1969 and five young friends are hitchhiking through the state on their way to attend the political rallies taking place in Washington DC. Ditched at a small roadside gas station by their previous ride, they’re offered a lift by friendly twenty-something Quintin (Bodin) in his temperamental pick-up truck, which inconveniently breaks down several miles into the journey. With night falling and a storm on the way the group takes refuge in a barn at a seemingly deserted farm. The next morning they awake to find the farm’s owners, crotchety Grandma Geraldine Staunton (Sherry Weston), middle-aged Louise Staunton (Lamkin) and her mentally disabled son, Buddy (Hendricks). Following a misunderstanding that leads to an unfortunate and violent altercation between Buddy and Cole, the Stauntons invite their guests to stay for an impromptu breakfast. But behind the friendly façade of this eccentric family lies a terrible secret that is about to be revealed to the travelling visitors in the most unpleasant of ways.
