El Cuco. Satan. Dracula.Different names worldwide. Some devour children's souls, or consume blood, while others hunger for human flesh. Yet, they all indicate the same a monster. In the heart of a desolate trailer park, a dim glow of hope faintly flickers with each passing day. The burden of becoming "the man of the house" fell like blocks of lead upon Tylon's shoulders when his father died. Enervated and a shell of her former self, his mother relies on him as her (reluctant) caretaker. Tylon's friends, especially Dylan, ruthlessly tease him about his "saintliness," but they don't understand that his escape from this life beats to the drum of honor. He'd be a proud military man, like his father. He just had to stay out of trouble. But when Dylan promises a fool-proof plan of one last night of debauchery with their friends, Tylon agrees. The gang embarks on a journey to Mexico, driving through the desert, where the night winds howl, and the sky is a hidden, black maw of a monster. Slick with gore and split with violent shrieks, Tylon's night becomes a struggle for survival against a vicious creature that will stop at nothing to tear each of them apart, limb from limb.
