Laine (Jocelin Donahue) thought the middle of the desert would be the perfect place to disappear. Broke, bruised, and on the run, she finds shelter at The Frontier, a forgotten roadside motel at the edge of nowhere. But when she takes a job from its guarded owner and meets the strange mix of guests drifting through, Laine begins to suspect she’s stumbled into the middle of a dangerous scheme. A bag of stolen money is about to change hands, and if she plays it wrong, she might not live to disappear again.
