Synopsis:

Suzy is trying to get home but is being pursued by a threatening, nameless creature as she runs down the street. She begs entry at one house and finds refuge for the moment as a schoolmate and his grandfather take her in. But the night is still young, and dawn is hours away. Will Suzy be safe, or will unimaginable terrors lie in wait for her?
