When two disgraced FBI agents are sent to investigate gruesome murders along Route 5, they discover there's a lot more going on than a simple string of bodies left by some garden-variety serial killer. Horrific nightmares are tormenting the small towns along the highway, and only one man in junkyard armor keeps them at bay.
