We spend a great deal of energy pretending to be certain. We sign our names to opinions we have not examined, defend convictions we inherited rather than chose, and treat the absence of doubt as though it were the same thing as the presence of truth.

What if the safest place… is the one you can’t leave? On a rain-soaked highway in northern Ontario, Erin makes a simple decision; she turns off the road and stops at a lonely service station. At first, nothing seems wrong. The lights are on. The shelves are stocked. The door is unlocked. But no one is there.

When two people step outside and don’t come back, the rules begin to take shape.
