While traveling from New Orleans to Chicago for a rock concert, five college students decide to take a detour. While in Mississippi, they travel a remote highway into the Delta region of the state to visit the infamous Crossroads: the place where blues legend Jack Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil.

Lost on the old highway, they stop at a rundown gas station to get directions from the creepy attendant that runs the place.

But one wrong turn leads to a night that they will never forget....
