After visiting Brooklyn psychiatrist Vic, Julie, her daughter, and her sister Stacey find themselves low on fuel during their drive home. They exit the highway in search of a gas station but inadvertently wander into the South Bronx. There, they encounter a menacing youth gang led by the ruthless Ice, who stops their car and begins to threaten them. In a panic, Julie speeds away, accidentally damaging one of the gang’s motorcycles. Feeling challenged, Ice decides to pursue them. With their car soon out of gas, the three women are forced to escape on foot, using every means at their disposal to protect themselves. Only T.J., the youngest member of the gang, attempts to assist them.
