Uncle Max is a hard-edged, softhearted owner of the popular roadside diner, where young English girl, Juliet, works to pay for her travelling plans. A typical evening at the diner is overturned when a stranger enters. Drinking only coffee, his silence and malevolent stare disturb the normally reticent staff, especially young Juliet. A chilling tale unfolds in the depths of the Southern United States, about an evil that gnaws at the very heart of American culture.
