Then, later, when her school bus breaks down on the ride home, the strange bus driver tells Ollie and her classmates: \"Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you.\" Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN.\u003cbr\u003e Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed these warnings.
