Shortcut

When school bus driver Joseph (Terence Anderson) takes a shortcut due to a downed tree in the middle of the road, he comes across another obstacle — a deceased deer in the path of the bus. When he gets out to move the deer to the side of the road, he's taken hostage by a man with a gun, leaving five teenagers (Jack Kane, Zak Sutcliffe, Sophie Jane Oliver, Zander Emlano, Molly Due) on the bus.

The students are trapped inside by a mysterious, hungry creature that inhabits the area and is looking for prey. Alone in the middle of a deserted road, time is running out as every passing minute decreases their chances of survival against the constant threats of that unknown entity.
