Description
A desert refuge for those fleeing their past, Route 117 is home to a small community of fugitives and outcasts. For truck driver Ben Jones, it's a familiar route, one that brings him into contact with the few people who live here. The only landmark worth noting is an abandoned diner that has stood empty for years. Ben's quiet life is disrupted when he encounters Claire, a mysterious woman playing the cello in a deserted housing development. She's clearly running from something, and Ben finds himself drawn to her despite his better judgment. As their relationship deepens, the secrets of Claire's past begin to surface, putting both of them in grave danger. The desert's dark history is slowly revealed as Claire's pursuers turn Route 117 into a battleground. The truth behind the never-open desert diner becomes a central mystery, one that holds the key to understanding the violent crimes that have haunted this place for generations.
