College students Jim and Grace are driving across New Mexico to meet her friends for spring break. One night, they almost hit a hitchhiker who is standing in the middle of the road; Jim swerves and the car spins out of control to a stop. As the man approaches, Grace insists that someone else will stop to help him, and they take off. Later that night at a gas station, Jim meets the hitchhiker who introduces himself as John Ryder and he asks for a ride. Reluctantly, Jim agrees. While on the road, he becomes violent and attacks them, holding a knife to Grace’s eye.
He tells Jim the only way to save them both is to say “I want to die”. Jim hits the brakes, causing John to hit his head on the windshield, and then Jim kicks him out of the car. Grace tells Jim she wants to go home but he persuades her to continue with their trip. The following day, they spot John in a family’s car. Jim and Grace try to warn the family but crash their car. They are forced to continue on foot and eventually find the family’s car on the side of the road; both the children and mother are already dead, with the father badly wounded. They take the car and stop at a nearby cafe for them, but the man dies.
