I Work The Graveyard Shift At A Gas Stat...

About this episode

Ike Burns thought his job at the A-Plus American Service Station was straightforward—fixing cars, stocking shelves, and surviving the graveyard shift. But an old, abandoned car on the lot harbors a secret far deadlier than he ever imagined.

When a customer disappears, leaving behind a trail of blood, Ike discovers the creature lurking in the car’s trunk—a monstrous predator that shouldn’t exist. As chaos unfolds, his boss Sergei reveals the horrifying truth: the creature is Ivan, a dark secret tied to Sergei’s past.

Now, trapped in the middle of nowhere, Ike must survive the night while grappling with betrayal, fear, and impossible choices. The creature isn’t just hunting—it’s playing. And the deeper Ike digs, the more he realizes the station’s secrets could destroy him.

At A-Plus, some things are better left untouched.
