Five students driving through the desert encounter the inescapable stench of death in director David Payne's retro-inspired slasher/monster/supernatural horror hybrid. The highway has been inexplicably closed, forcing five young travelers into a mysteriously abandoned travel oasis where they are soon confronted with disturbing visions of maimed travelers. Disturbed by the grisly series of visions and determined to escape the spooky motel and diner before whatever killed the previous customers returns, the frightened travelers soon meet a frantic stranger who claims to have recently lost his wife to a terrifying entity that seems to hover between life and death. As the night falls, a blind grad student with heightened senses proves the only hope for survival as the body count begins to rise and the smell of death becomes too suffocating to endure. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Coming upon a street shooting, Andy (Dennis Franz) fires at what he thinks is the perpetrator's car -- but cannot prove that he fired correctly when the only eyewitness, the original shooting victim, disappears. As Andy nervously awaits an Internal Affairs investigation, the other detectives begin to suspect that newcomer Connie McDowell (Charlotte Ross) is a spy from the IAB. And in another development, a videotape shot in the bathroom of a bar may nail a rapist. With this episode, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon graduates from "recurring" to "regular" cast member as ADA Valerie Haywood. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
