What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The kidnapped travelers' apparent vulnerability is overturned as the gang discovers that the Driver is far more dangerous than expected.

The central mystery depends on what the gang learns about the wealthy male traveler known only as Driver.
The plot moves through cross-country travel locations including a highway, motel, and restaurant, all associated with criminal danger.
