John Winston, a resident of Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, and a recent high school graduate, celebrates his new life by going on a road trip. However, when his car breaks down, he ends up in the tiny town of Dell's Orchard.

While he waits for his car to be repaired—and waits, and waits—he meets Andrea Kim, whose car is also being repaired. Soon, they find out that they're reliving the same night over and over, and that night consists of them going to a disco called FIRE where the same scenario replays itself ad infinitum.

And when they discover a barrier around the town, they realize that they're trapped. The only question is why. Once they learn the horrifying truth, they have to fight for their very existence.
