Plot
In Swinton, Louisiana, police officer Kevin Ganning pulls over a green van for not having a license plate, but when he points his gun at the driver, an unknown entity pulls him away. Officers Renee Lomito-Smith and rookie Danny Holledge are called to investigate Ganning's last known location, where they find the dash-cam footage showing Ganning's beating from an unknown entity and Ganning's lifeless body. Sergeant Kesper tells them the footage was destroyed before they had arrived.
When Lomito-Smith recognizes a hospital logo on the driver's pants, she tracks down the driver: Taneesha Branz. She and Holledge discover Taneesha's home abandoned, but they find a photo of Taneesha and her son. Holledge leaves quickly because of roaches, but when Lomito-Smith tries to exit, she finds it locked and realizes the entity is watching. She escapes by breaking the door window. Lomito-Smith later learns Taneesha's son Demarco was killed in a gang shoot out.
