A high-concept horror thriller that weaponizes time itself to explore mortality and bodily decay, trapping families in an accelerated nightmare where a vacation becomes a race against biological inevitability.

A group of families on a tropical holiday discover that the secluded beach where they are staying is somehow causing them to age rapidly – reducing their entire lives into a single day.
