Summary

In a small Texas town, teenagers and the local sheriff investigate a series of mysterious disappearances along a rural highway. The culprit turns out to be an enormous lizard that has emerged from the surrounding hills and is preying on travelers and livestock. A hot-rodding young mechanic must find a way to stop the creature before it reaches the town.
