The producers said the script by Trent Haaga (Deadgirl) and David Chirchirillo tells “the story of a new father facing eviction who is reunited with a high school friend when a wealthy couple challenges them to the ultimate game of dare, testing the limits of physical pain and morality in exchange for cash."
