Wiseman details that Carano will play a “traumatized woman who hires a long-hauler to track down an infamous serial killer” in an adaptation of Eric Red’s White Knuckle: Blutiger Highway novel.

The official description on Barnes & Noble reads, “On the highways, a serial killer has been killing his female victims unmolested for decades, leaving a trail of blood and tears. Known by the CB nickname WHITE KNUCKLE, the trucker who kills with perverted lust has hundreds of women cruelly murdered and their bodies buried across the country, but young FBI agent Sharon Ormsby is on his heels to stop him.”

It concludes, “Undercover, at the side of an experienced trucker, she hunts the killer in his eighteen-wheeled monster. That means one thing above all: a tough showdown on the highway!”

Carano told Deadline about the film, “I’m completely ignited to be creating this thriller with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend. I feel I am exactly where I want and need to be at this moment in my life; it feels as if I have wings.”
