Synopsis

Monster trucks...

We've all seen them.

Gigantic wheels.

Carriages of steel.

Tons of horse power.

Crushing anything that stands in their way.

...Hell on wheels.

But on the desolate I-55, there is one monster truck that gives new meaning to that name. It's not just the truck that is monstrous. So is the driver.

On this highway, the road kill is human.

Adam and Harley are two college buds driving cross-country on their way to their love's wedding to another man. In the middle of nowhere, a huge black monster truck rides up the ass of Adam's car and nearly forces them off the road. Coincidence or bad luck? Who knows, but it's scary and weird.

Trouble escalates from there. Finding road kill in their motel beds is half as bad as witnessing a murder executed by the scar-faced occupant of the monster truck. To complicate matters, there is the sexy but mysterious hitchhiker, Sarah, who was discovered sleeping in the backseat of their car.

The trio are chased by the "monster man" in the monster truck. Their car destroyed, they end up on foot in the backwoods in the middle of nowhere. With Harley knocked out and Sarah abducted by the monster man, Adam finally gains the courage he has always lacked and decides to rescue her. But once he enters the ramshackle house where she is being held, he quickly becomes trapped by a blood-dripping, hair-raising horror.
