About

Eighteen-year-olds Alison and Ben had their entire college-bound futures perfectly mapped out until an adventurous pre-university trip to South Africa’s storm-bitten Duiker Island systematically dismantles their predictable lives . Seeking shelter inside an isolated coastal lighthouse during a violent Atlantic storm, Ben uses his lock-picking skills to open the heavy door . But their curiosity turns into a living nightmare when Alison’s flashlight illuminates a horrific secret hidden inside: the cold corpse of a middle-aged woman bearing a brutal strangle mark on her neck . Before the terrified teenagers can flee, the entrance door swings open to reveal Alex, the grim head of security for the Elizabeth family—the corrupt old-money dynasty that owns the entire island . Trapped in a panic-stricken lie to avoid trespassing charges, Ben clumsily claims the door was already unlocked . Though the couple manages to escape back to their cottage, their terrified silence completely seals their fate . By morning, Alex will discover the body and use his immense influence to frame the two clueless American tourists for the murder . With 80 km/h winds knocking out power and closing the mainland harbor, there is no police presence on this rock for the next three days . Trapped in a lawless, isolated kingdom where the ruling family can make inconvenient people disappear forever, Alison and Ben are entirely on their own . To survive the hunt and clear their names, the cautious boy who always follows the rules and the reckless girl who loves the edge must learn to fight dirty and expose the real killer before the island swallows them whole .
