The Edge Motel Image

On a road trip through Colorado, two college students have picked up a charming if mysterious hitchhiker. When an unexpected blizzard forces them to stop at a motel in Denver, the two have to decide whether to invite their new friend to share their room for the night or let him fend for himself in the freezing cold with no money. When a shocking secret about the hitchhiker suddenly comes to light, the stage is set for a night of political debate, secret intimacies, and surprise plot twists.

Running time: The Edge Motel is 110 Minutes $18.
