In 2018, a woman is found dead and another goes missing along a remote highway in Northeastern Nevada. These events may be connected to the previous disappearance of Gary Hinge in 2017.

Horror in the High Desert is a found-footage thriller movie set in the vast and desolate Nevada desert. The film follows a blogger who sets out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young couple and uncovers a terrifying secret hidden in the desert.

As a wildfire bears down on the opposite side of the state, Oscar Mendoza, armed with a secret, takes advantage of the distraction and journeys to Northeastern Nevada in search of missing outdoorsman Gary Hinge's last known whereabouts.
