The episode sets its supernatural suspense on an isolated road. The brothers rely on their experience with the paranormal as they investigate a haunting rooted in a tragedy from the past.

Overview

This is episode 16 of Season 2 of Supernatural, the series created by Eric Kripke, which premiered in 2006. In this season the Winchester brothers keep crisscrossing America in their '67 Chevy Impala. They face ghouls, vampires, ghosts, and other dangerous entities, and they stay on the trail of the demon who murdered their mother. Along the way, they dig deeper into the mystery of their own destinies.
