Maya’s journey has transformed from mere survival to a quest for the horrifying truth behind the strangers’ motives.

Will she be able to outsmart her pursuers, or will she fall prey to their twisted game?

Joining Petsch in this terrifying journey are Gabriel Basso from The Night Agent and Ema Horvath, known for her role in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Their performances add a powerful intensity to an already suffocating atmosphere.
