Imagine a mother and daughter's weekend retreat at a secluded spa, but their relaxing getaway takes a terrifying turn when they find themselves trapped in a sauna, fighting for their lives.

Producers Sarah Shaw and Anna McLeish, known for their support of Australian filmmakers, are confident in Knox's talent and the film's potential. They believe it will captivate audiences with its intense screenplay and stellar cast.
And this is the part most people miss—the film's unique appeal.
