In the early 1970s, teenager Annie (Madison Wolfe), who is having problems living with her sister and brother, reports to her parents that she has seen a white van following her a few times, but her parents disagree with her complaints stating that it is paranoia. [4] The movie is loosely based on the cases of Billy Mansfield Jr. who was a serial killer in Florida.

In his review on Film Threat , Alan Ng rated it an 8.5/10 saying that "is the perfect primer for someone thinking about getting into horror films." [4] Jeffrey M. Anderson rated it 1/5 on Common Sense Media saying that "this extremely poor, lumbering thriller, which barely has enough ideas to sustain a 20-minute short, borrows most of its supposedly tense moments from dozens of other, better movies."
