Impoverished gas station owner Hektor Estevez cringed when he saw the VW bus pulled up to his dilapidated pumps. However, in the desert, business is business. Since the new highway went in, no one passes by any longer. Reluctantly, he served the three hippies. Stepping into the gas station shop, Greg Williams discovered an old map. A shortcut across the desert would save them time. Convincing his twin sister, Gia, and their companion, Tracey McMaster, to try it out, they continue on their way. But, Hektor Estevez knows better. The road the hippies chose will lead them straight to Whispering Springs, Nex Mexico. No one has set foot in the deserted ghost town for years.
