Plot
After their car runs out of gas, a group of teens steal gas from an isolated house. Unknown to them, the owner of the house, Farmer Brown, had a traumatic past involving gasoline thieves. Farmer Brown goes insane with rage and hunts down the teens, one by one, and kills them. When the group's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Jessa goes to get help. Farmer Brown captures Jessa and tortures her to death with hooks.
After Heather and Rocco have sex, Rocco wanders off and Farmer Brown burns him alive. Shaun tries to seduce Heather, but she rejects him. Shaun gets drunk and starts fighting with Brody. Heather breaks them up. They then become worried about Rocco and Jessa and go looking for them. However, Brown runs over and kills Shaun with a tractor in full view of Heather and Brody. Farmer Brown chases the two along the road, and eventually the two are forced to hide in a shed. Brody makes a noise and Farmer Brown slaughters him with a scythe.
Heather and Farmer Brown have a final showdown in the shed. He impales her with a spear, but she throws his head onto a lawnmower blade, killing him. Heather leaves the shed and drives back to civilization in Farmer Brown's truck, the only survivor of the assault.
