SYNOPSIS

Trish (Gina Philips) and her younger brother Darry (Justin Long) are passing the hours on their long drive home for spring break as they always do – bickering, insulting each other and enjoying every minute of it.  As they speed down the seemingly endless country road, they spot an ancient, creepy-looking van approaching in the rear-view mirror.  The van suddenly accelerates, practically running them off the highway, its weird horn wailing. As it zooms off, Trish and Darry notice its odd license plate — “BEATINGU.”   Recovering from the scare and mumbling about in-bred rural psychopaths, they remind each other of the legend of Kenny and Darla, two kids from their old high school who disappeared along this stretch of road more than twenty years earlier.  As the story goes, they found their car, but never their bodies…
