Synopsis

Jen's lavish hen party takes a dark turn on a secluded private island, accessible only by helicopter for 72 hours. Among the eclectic group – including a pop diva, an estranged ex-bandmate, a tennis pro, and various family members – tensions quickly escalate. Amidst the drunken revelry, one guest mysteriously vanishes. Soon, a chilling message arrives: the missing friend will be killed unless one of them confesses a deep, terrible secret to the others. The problem? Every woman present harbors a hidden truth, making the demand a torturous dilemma. As paranoia mounts and the clock ticks, the group must confront their pasts and each other, realizing that the island, far from being a sanctuary, has become a deadly trap where trust is a luxury no one can afford, and everyone is a suspect, or a victim.
