Driving into Darkness: Confronting the Truth

Plot

In the shadow of a dystopian landscape, a truck driver finds himself trapped in a grim and harrowing existence—his job is to transport condemned souls to their final reckoning before the firing squad. At first, he grapples with a growing sense of dread, choosing to shield himself from the horrific reality by numbing his senses to the ghastly scenes and chilling sounds that surround him. But as fate would have it, one ominous night changes everything, compelling him to face the horrifying truth of the executions he has tried so desperately to ignore.
