We're being attacked. I don't know who. We have one gun with 2 bullets.
We're
sitting ducks!
A family of five, Bob and Ethel Carter, and their teenage kids Bobby, Brenda and Lynne are traveling on vacation. Lynne also is with her husband Doug, and their little baby girl Katie. They pull over at a rest stop titled "Fred's Oasis". Later, they skid off a desert road and break an axle bolt. Bob leaves Bobby a handgun and goes to find help.
As night falls, Bob is ambushed at Fred's Oasis and is taken to be burned by a mysterious man. Doug and Lynne go inside the family car while everyone else stays in the large camper. Bobby gets locked out and asks Doug for his set of keys. What Bobby does not know is that a strange deformed man, Pluto, is inside the trailer looking at their vaulables while Ethel and Brenda are asleep in the next room. Bobby gets the keys and goes inside, when Bob is set ablaze on a stake out in the distance. Ethel, Lynne, Doug, and Bobby rush to Bob, while Brenda is left inside with the strange man.
Everyone tries to help put out the fire on Bob while Pluto rapes Brenda. Another strange man, Mars, jumps down from the top of the trailer and goes inside. He pulls the other man away and rapes Brenda. Pluto gets the valuables and leaves Mars inside. The family puts out the fire on Bob, but he dies shortly after. When Ethel and Lynne go inside to get water, Pluto jumps out and runs away. Lynne goes inside to find Mars taking her baby. She tries to hit the man, but he pushes her to the floor and reaches for a gun. Ethel steps in, and tries to hit Mars with a broom, but is shot. Brenda throws Lynne a knife on the floor. Lynne grabs it, but is also shot. She stabs Mars in the leg, and is shot again. Pluto comes back and takes the baby, while Mars follows.
Only Brenda, Bobby, and Doug survive. Doug sets out to find his baby, while Bobby and Brenda make a trap to catch one of the men. A kind native helps Doug get his baby, while Bobby and Brenda catch and kill Papa Jupiter, one of the men.
