Some weekends are designed to relax you. This one is designed to erase you.

Influencer Kellie arrives at remote Stillwater House to film a ‘cozy getaway’ mini-series, lake views, soft lighting, and easy content. Instead, Diane and Brian welcome her with smiles that feel rehearsed, rules that feel weaponized, and cameras that never blink. Six couples show up as strangers… until two of them react like they’ve met before.

At midnight, a brand-new episode appears under Kellie’s show, scheduled without her. A timer starts counting up, as if someone’s filming her life in real time. The house’s timeline doesn’t match hers. Keys change hands. Room assignments shift. Then the storm hits, cell service dies, the gate locks from the inside, and Diane calls it ‘safety’ while turning fear into blame.

When the first death happens at the dock, it looks like an accident. Until the next one. And the next. The security feeds glitch, delay, and lie, proof reality can be edited.

Kellie came to capture a weekend. So why does Stillwater House look like it’s been waiting for her?
