She makes do and even a new friend in trucker Marge (Creator/HongChau). But just as she's about to leave town, she hears news that Marge is being accused of the murder of local Subway employee Damien (Creator/BrandonMichaelHall) when she was caught on camera dumping his dead body out of her truck.

The real story is that Damien met his end while talking to Jed (Colton Ryan), a young local man living in the town's auto shop. Jed has had his eye (very creepily) on Sara (Megan Suri) at the convenience store, and Damien was trying to gently push him away from his obsession. However, it ended up with Jed doing the pushing... pushing Damien off the station's roof and bashing in his head when Damien won $25k from a scratch off ticket. All Jed had to do from there was stash the body in Marge's rig, and the stage was set.

Having used the last of her money at an ATM and sending a signal out to Cliff just where she is, Charlie must race against the clock
to clear the good name of an innocent trucker (Creator/HongChau).this bullshit charge from Marge's head.

It isn't all for nothing that Marge dumps the body outside the auto shop, it fell in perfectly with his plan.


** A minor case during the murder, as Jed goes through a lot of trouble to haul Damian's body towards Marge's truck, break into the thing, and plant Damian's body into it, all for Marge to just dump Damian's body right back out in front of the auto shop.


Added DiffLines:

** Jed sabotages Charlie's brakes, planning for her to die miles down the road. Instead his uncle Abe (and only ally) finds his dirty work, fixes up the car, and turns his back on Jed for good because of it.
