Retired police officer Bob Carter (Russ Grieve) and his family are on a camping road trip to California when they ignore the warnings of a crazy old man they encounter at a gas station who warns them to stay on the main road and they take a detour through a nuclear testing site.
Their caravan becomes trapped in the middle of nowhere when they break an axle on their car, stranding them in the desert.
Unfortunately, the area is not uninhabited.
As night falls, a clan of barbaric mountain-dwelling cannibals close in on the family, attacking their Airstream trailer, and begin to brutally slaughter each of them as they fight to save their lives.
After a night of unbearable hell, the Carter family has lost some of their members and most of their supplies and decide to take revenge once daylight comes.
Their behaviour is more violent and psychotic than the villains.
The violence is shocking and strangely realistic – This is raw, intense horror at its best.
