Synopsis/Details
(Pitch deck available upon request).
Fleeing her husband, Nori and her daughter take a bus out of town, but miss their stop and are forced to exit at the end of the line.
They seek refuge in an isolated Cape Cod lifeguard station. As a deadly storm approaches from the sea, they find temporary shelter inside the station with Kai, a friendly doobie dude.
But their relief is short-lived as Rhyland, armed with a hidden GPS tracker, locates them.
Despite Kai's brave attempts to protect them, Rhyland takes care of him, and Nori is forced to deadbolt herself and Shani inside the station.
Determined to reclaim his daughter, Rhyland is undeterred by the raging storm, a nearby Coast Guard cutter, and two oblivious teens who stumble onto the beach.
A sinister game of deception and survival unfolds, revealing shocking secrets and culminating in a surprise climax.
However, the true enemy proves far more sinister than they ever imagined, leading to a final showdown with a deadly twist.
