In a gated community, isolated from the harsh realities outside, safeguarded by vigilant walls and surveillance cameras that leave no corner unwatched. However, the bubble of Altos is shattered one fateful morning when a chilling revelation surfaces: three lifeless bodies adrift in a pool. This grisly discovery sends shockwaves through the closely-knit community, prompting swift attempts to classify the incident from accident to tragedy, yet a deeper sense of unease lingers.

“The book is so rich. There are so many fantastic details, but in order to preserve and have the time to bring that to the screen, we had to make important choices.”
