Plot

When three freak tornados hit the fictional, isolated town of Summervile in rural Nevada, the entire town is carried off by the storm, and five survivors find themselves at the mercy of a more ominous threat - a serial killer by the name of Sterling Red, who orders them to kill the ugliest of the group. As they struggle with determining what true beauty is, the FBI scrambles to determine Red's true identity and stop him. But they must hurry, because Red has promised that if his insane demands are not met in six hours, he'll begin his killing spree again.
