Mystery Highway (2023)

Radio DJ George Bell hosts a weekly radio drama series called Mystery Highway, where truckers tune in to listen to stories of science fiction and the paranormal. The truckers imagine themselves as characters in separate stories told by Bell. After the show's intro, Bell begins telling the first of six dramas.

The first story is called Stover Hill, where a group of 30-something friends are socializing one evening at one of their homes. One of the friends, Will, begins acting strangely. A power failure plunges the group into darkness, only to be blasted by intense lights coming from outside. Will runs outside, leaving the other confused. He returns and begins to use an unearthly power to take over the rest of the group. The mother tells her 10-year-old daughter to hide, which she does. When the lights outside subside, the mother later finds her daughter, but its unclear as to which has been taken over by the alleged alien presence.

The second story is called Crazy Joe. Joe is a widower who takes care of his 12-year-old daughter. A local bar fly named Rumsfield teases and taunts Joe, as he often sees him talking to himself in public. It is revealed via a nightmare, that Joe was responsible for his wife's death in an automobile accident, where Joe and their daughter survived. In the end, it is revealed that the daughter did not survive, and she is a ghost, remaining to take care of, and defend, her now alcoholic and guilt-ridden father against people like Rumsfield.

The third story is called Dark Chocolate, where a dock worker is asked by an elderly boat captain to come aboard for a drink. The worker politely agrees, and the captain tells him that he'd like to give him his boat if he wins a game of poisoned chocolate roulette. The worker reluctantly agrees, and they begin eating each chocolate piece, one of which is injected with poison. The scene fades out, and it is revealed that the captain is eyeing another blue collar worker, and asks if he'd like to come and have a drink.

The fourth story is called The Loyal Remnant, where a group left behinds by the rapture roam the empty countryside. One evening, a man joins the group, as they continue to search for redemption. It is revealed that the man is Satan, and he tries unsuccessfully to kill them, as they pray him away.

The fifth story is called Discontinuance, which follows a man who wakes up in the desert, after an apparent alien abduction. He walks to a bar and begins talking to another customer, and learns that his daughter, who was with him when he was abducted, has become famous for spewing irrational rhetoric about how her father was abducted by aliens. Hearing this, the man rushes to go find his daughter, and they reunite.

The sixth and last story is called You Are Me. Greyson is a brilliant scientist who is dying of a disease from being infected in a mining town in his youth. He builds a robot/clone hybrid of himself in order for it to carry on with his wife, unaware of his illness. He dies, and the clone takes over his life. It is revealed that his wife, who was also infected in the mine town, had already previously died, and is a clone herself. Because they are now both clones, their mechanical bodies cancel the other out, and they malfunction and freeze.

Returning to the disc jockey studio, George Bell recaps the stories and bids farewell to his listeners, and invites them to return next time for another evening of exciting and interesting stories.
