Hes glad to be alone; to think fast to collect himself to figure things out before its too late. But he wont be alone for long. Enter Rhonda Claire a stunning stranger tightly gripping her own travel bag and frantically looking over her shoulder. Shes clearly unnerved by Bailey harmless though he may appear. How can she trust anyone in this God-forsaken place? And sure enough as both anxiously await the last bus out of town for their very own different reasons small talk turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse as both seek advantage trapped in their own secrets and lies to be the last one standing when that clunker of a bus finally pulls in. As sirens wail in the distance Bailey becomes convinced that this woman to die for has committed a terrible crime. And Rhonda cool as the steel of a pistol suspects Bailey so comically naive at times has done worse. As the bus barrels toward the station Bailey and Rhonda torn by passion and greed must confront each other and themselves as fate closes in.
