When crows collide with the windshield of their car, a young group of friends are left stranded next to a desolate cornfield. The friends seek out help from the single-standing farmhouse they see, but they quickly figure out that the only solace they have are each other when the house they have stumbled upon is actually the center of the supernatural.
Prowl: What’s intended to be a brief escape from their small town turns deadly for a group of young friends. While en route to the city to apartment hunt, their car breaks down and leaves the friends stranded on the side of the road. They are able to hitch a ride in the back of a cargo truck but when the driver later refuses to stop, the friends realize that they are stowed away with hundreds of cartons of blood. All too quickly the truck arrives in an abandoned warehouse where they’re left as prey for bloodthirsty vampires.
