When Danielle and Grace decide to go on a road trip, they never expect a frightening, violent encounter with a truck driver. In a random moment of road rage, the two girls find themselves kidnapped in the back of a truck, the only other person who knows about their whereabouts is a captured prostitute who is destined for the same fate.

Full of action, gritty violence, and drama, Big Sky presents one of the most frightening, jarring stories to hit the small screen in years.
