According to Sudbury Police Lt. Scott Nix, traffic should not be affected by the filming.

The movie focuses on depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry, who offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.
