Description
When true-crime podcaster Ava Cole receives a cryptic invitation to an exclusive retreat on a private island, she sees this island as her chance to finally take the mystery she's been obsessed with for years - the unsolved murder of her sister, Clara, at the infamous Blue Horizon Hotel. The host? Now, the reclusive billionaire Elias Voss, a man whose wealth and influence have kept him above public scrutiny.
But what starts as a live podcast stunt - a "reenactment" of the Blue Horizon murders - swiftly deteriorates into a nightmare. The island's guests, gathered by Voss, begin dying one by one, each death replicating the original murders with deadly accuracy. Worse, Ava discovers the killer is using her broadcast as a script, even tailoring their crimes in real time based on her audience's theories and polls. Now trapped with no way out, Ava must confront her own complicity in the sensationalization of tragedy as she races against time to expose Voss's secrets before she becomes the ultimate victim.
