action

Zakes, an unsuccessful writer, sits behind the wheel of his car with his girlfriend Beth in the middle of the night. A large white truck drives behind them on the freeway. Zakes is briefly inattentive and ends up on the disused lane at a construction site, whereupon the white truck overtakes him and the loading flap briefly opens in the risky maneuver. Zakes sees a cage in the hold in which a naked and bleeding woman is locked.

He then calls the police to report the incident, but cannot see the license plate and is therefore not taken seriously.

Zakes and Beth get out at the next motorway service station, and after an argument, Beth says she wants to continue on her own. She calls a friend who is supposed to pick her up. Meanwhile, Zakes goes to the truck that drove into the station, but the driver, a dark-clad man with a hood, is not there and he tries to open the loading flap. He calls for the woman, but gets no answer.

He goes back to his car, where he feels bad that he has left his girlfriend alone. He can't find her in the restroom at the rest stop, but two security guards hold him because they think he is molesting the women there. They throw him out of the building.

Back in the parking lot, he finds his girlfriend's torn bracelet lying on the floor. A couple of drunks stabbed a wheel of his car, whereupon he stole another guest's car to follow the truck.

One of the security guards finds the story strange and searches the surveillance tapes at the rest stop to see what might have happened to the woman. When he has found the relevant point in the tape, he sees the woman go out through the emergency exit with a stranger. He shows this to his colleague, who then kills him, as you can see in the further course that he is the one who takes the girl out. He calls someone and tells them that the boyfriend of the girl they just caught would obviously be causing problems and maybe following them.

In a cat-and-mouse game, Zakes and the hooded kidnapper pursue each other until Zakes eventually reaches the area where the women are being held. The kidnapper goes into a house on the premises. Zakes finds his girlfriend Beth trapped in a fence on the ground. The man is in the shower and Zakes manages to get the key out of his pocket. With this he wants to free Beth, but doesn't make it.

He lures the kidnapper out of the house and walks through a maze of containers. He is hiding in a crane that is holding up a container. When the man is exactly under the container he drops it and kills it. Beth can free herself in the meantime and they embrace each other, relieved.

The end of the film - a year later: In a bookstore you can see a book by Zakes called "Traffic". Thorpe, the guard from the rest stop who killed the other, picks it up.
