Five different stories–each revolving around a fatal flaw–make up this movie. The fifth story, for example, is about a neat freak who literally lives in a completely sterile environment and encounters, of all things, cockroaches. The screenplay is by Stephen King from the story "The Crate." King has a bit part in one of the stories. Naturally, macabre entertainment.

Large trucks besiege the Dixie Boy truck stop and threaten the humans who are inside. King was also the screenwriter, with the story coming from the anthology "Night Shift."
