Doctor Edward Stevens has just finished visiting a patient from a house call on a dark and rainy night. As he is driving home, he sees a girl waiting at a bus shelter in the middle of the night. He picks her up and she introduces herself as Layla. She was attending a party, and her friends dropped her off at the bus shelter. She requests to be taken to her parents home since they are worried about her. As Doctor Stevens speaks to Layla, he suddenly notices something odd about her. Can looks be deceiving? What secret is Layla hiding? Is picking up a hitch hiker a good idea or a dangerous endeavor?
