White sand. Blue water. Two lovers on the run.
What could go wrong in paradise?
Apparently… everything.

The Setup
Newlyweds Cliff and Cydney are honeymooning in Hawaii, hiking one of the world’s most remote trails. It should’ve been relaxing.
But news spreads: another honeymoon couple was brutally murdered nearby.
Then come the strangers—some friendly, some sketchy. Everyone has a story. Everyone has a secret.
And someone’s playing a deadly game.
What Makes It So Addictive
🔪 It’s a mystery in disguise – You think you know where it’s going… you really don’t.
🌴 The Hawaiian backdrop – Lush, dangerous, and isolating. It’s the perfect setting for paranoia to grow.
🧠 A massive twist – Halfway through the film, it flips everything on its head. You’ll want to rewatch it with new eyes.
💬 Sharp writing and subtle clues – Pay attention. The truth is there… but hidden in plain sight.
Standout Cast

🔥 Milla Jovovich as Cydney – sweet, smart, and maybe not what she seems.
🧱 Timothy Olyphant as Nick – ex-military, cool under pressure, unpredictable.
🧨 Kiele Sanchez as Gina – tough, intense, and always ready to fight.
