A journey into uncharted and forbidden territory through three tales tangled in space and time.
The film contains five stories set on desolate stretches of a desert highway.

Five train passengers are joined by a mysterious fortuneteller who offers to read Tarot. A quintet of stories unfold: an architect returns to his ancestral home to find a vengeful werewolf; a doctor suspects his new wife is a vampire; an intelligent vine takes over a house; a jazz musician plagiarises music from a voodoo ceremony; and a pompous art critic is pursued by a disembodied hand.
Young Macy is abducted by a deranged, monstrous figure who wants to raise her as its child.
