Summary

In a small Utah desert town, a mysterious driverless black sedan begins terrorizing residents, running down cyclists, hitchhikers, and locals with seemingly malevolent intent. Sheriff Wade Parent and his deputies struggle to stop the indestructible vehicle as the body count rises, eventually concluding that the car may be a manifestation of supernatural evil.
