The story

At a sleepy gas station, the pump attendant is attacked by an animal infected by an unknown organism manifesting as large protruding splinters. A young couple, Seth Belzer and Polly Watt, drive for a romantic camping trip in the forests of Oklahoma, but are car-jacked by an escaped convict, Dennis Farell, and his drug-addict girlfriend, Lacey Belisle. The group gets a flat tire when they run over a splinter-infected animal on the road.
