The film has released its first trailer, showing two friends, played by Naomie Ackie and Alia Shawkat, who somehow gain an invitation to a private island, owned by a mysterious and handsome tech billionaire. The film follows Frida, played by Ackie, who appears to have a flirtation with Tatum’s billionaire character. Things go off script when Frida’s friend suddenly disappears from the island, with all of the guests acting as if they never knew her.

The trailer shows that while the island is filled with beautiful people and excessive parties, something is off. “I’m having a great time here,” says a character played by Adria Arjona. “But I also have this feeling that I’m like... not?”
