Four friends whose lives changed forever with the arrival of a ton of cocaine.
Like Lord of the Flies, it follows how a group’s fragile attempts at order collapse under isolation and a single catastrophic choice, turning everyday relationships into a slow-burn descent into moral chaos.
In a world overtaken by a mysterious wave of forced happiness, Carol Sturka, one of the immune few, must uncover what's really going on - and save humanity from its artificial bliss.
If you’re drawn to Lord of the Flies’ bleak exposure of what happens when social rules fail, this near-future psychological drama delivers a different kind of unraveling—where conformity and manufactured comfort replace genuine freedom until resistance becomes lonely and dangerous.
In 1962, a couple with their son move to Derry, Maine just as a young boy disappears. With their arrival, very bad things begin to happen in the town.
For the same reason Lord of the Flies feels like a community’s denial turning into violence, this town-based horror shows how collective denial and fractured loyalties let something monstrous grow inside ordinary family life.
