A different kind of American independent horror film, Toad Road is a hallucinatory and hypnotic odyssey through mutating realities, drug use, urban legends, and nightmares. Stuck in a dead end town, young James kill time with his druggie friends, engaging in debauched chemical intake to the point of unconsciousness, until he meets Sara, a sweet new arrival to their group. However, Sara wants James to take her further into the world of narcotics experimentation and to introduce her to the sinister local legend of Toad Road, a spot deep in the forest that is apparently home to the Seven Gates of Hell.
