Netflix held a special screening for Queen Latifah‘s new thriller, End of the Road on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Latifah stars as Brenda, a single mom who takes her family on a cross-country road trip through the desert to start a new life after losing her job.

A simple road trip turns into a near horrifying experience when they become targets of a killer after witnessing a murder.

Newcomers Mychala Faith Lee and Shaun Dixon portray Latifah’s adorable kids. Rap mogul Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges plays her brother Reggie.
