A visually sumptuous but deeply unsettling descent into a Lovecraftian nightmare where a wellness spa conceals sinister, body-horror experiments beneath its serene facade.

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from an idyllic but mysterious "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps but soon suspects that the spa's miraculous treatments are not what they seem.
