Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Dead Run: A former hell-raising, now down-on-his-luck trucker accepts a last-chance job hauling condemned souls to Hell. The souls are taken by the trailer load to a complex of metal buildings filled with flames and the screams of the doomed, surrounded by barbed wire fences and faceless guards, in general resembling a prison. Something's wrong, though, as many of the souls seem to be wrongly condemned, and have huddled together to try to make sense of the situation and to help and protect themselves from the true demons.
