Meet Anders, long truck driver, finishing his third shift. One highway looks like another no matter the time of day…or night…

Headed home after another late night is Chuck in the opposite direction on the same highway. Poor Chuck. His eyes are closing…OPEN…closing…OPEN…

The eyes of Anders and Chuck lock in the same lane!

Chuck swerves at the last second. Anders honks his horn, waking Chuck up even more. Two men grip their steering wheels. Two men slow down on the same highway. Two men keep their eyes on the road ahead.

Two men.

Awake!

Alive…
