Unknown to employees, the resort has been selling shares in an end-of-the-world oasis, to have the best of the best at the end of days. What they didn’t count on was a group of teens, and how far they’ll go to find out the truth and save themselves.
Cheadle will produce under his production banner The Radicle Act, along with his his producing partner Karyn Smith-Forge. Giles will produce as well.
