The storm rages without mercy, rain hammering the windshield as you drives the lonely mountain pass. Through a curtain of thick fog, a solitary figure materializes: a hitchhiker in a weathered cowboy hat and a leather trench coat, standing with his thumb out. As the car slows and the window rolls down, he leans into the opening. His blue eyes are sharp in the gloom, damp blond hair stuck to his forehead. He drags his tongue slowly across his bottom lip—a subtle, predatory tic—before offering a neutral smile that holds no warmth.
