Combining a modern tale of terror with a 1980s video game, first-time director Toby Meakins and writer Simon Allen decided to tackle a horror film that feels like it’s one part ‘Jumanji’ and another part ‘Black Mirror.’ 

The premise centers around a down-on-her-luck computer programming enthusiast named Kayla, who cleans buildings at night to help support her family, as they continue to grieve the loss of her little brother. When she’s not working, Kayla is hanging out with Isaac — another computer programmer with a crush on her and hopes to one day make it big creating his own video game. 

In his spare time, Isaac likes to play with old computers and long forgotten software like the game he finds that promises the winner a massive cash prize. 

After teasing Kayla that many of this prizes were never claimed, she decides to give this game a spin for herself. Kayla soon discovers that this game is really a curse and it’s nothing she can escape with just the stroke of a button….
