Maya Scott is just trying to make it home after a long night of studying, but when she misses her usual bus, a strange, decaying vehicle appears at the stop. With no other way home, she boards, only to realize that the passengers?and the driver?are not among the living. Trapped on a route to nowhere, Maya quickly discovers that this isn't just a late-night bus ride; it's a journey into the supernatural. As the minutes tick away and the bus draws closer to its final destination, Maya must find a way to escape the clutches of this phantom vehicle before she becomes another soul lost to the Hollow Route.
The Hollow Route is a haunting tale of survival, terror, and the dark forces that lurk in the shadows of the night. Maya's fight to escape the spectral bus becomes a race against time as she faces the ultimate question: Will she find a way out, or will she become another ghostly passenger on this doomed ride?
