Alan Parker (Jonathan
Jackson) is a college student studying art at the University of Maine. Cursed
with an over-active imagination, Alan constantly obsesses over the worst outcome
of any situation, and when he begins to suspect his girlfriend, Jessica (Erika
Christensen), is thinking of leaving him, it drives him to the brink of suicide.
Shortly after this brush with death, Alan receives word that his mother, Jean
(Barbara Hershey), has suffered a severe stroke and may not pull through. Alan
grabs his jacket and hits the road, hoping to hitchhike the one hundred miles to
the hospital. As it happens, Alan is trying to catch a ride on Halloween night,
and after he's picked up by one George Staub (David Arquette), he realizes that
he's riding the highway with a creature not of this Earth.
