Log Line A young traveller’s quest for escape and adventure turns into a brutal fight for survival when a bungee jump operation on the Thai-Myanmar border erupts into violence, plunging her into a deadly fight against criminals, wild animals, and her own haunted past. Synopsis On the Thai-Myanmar border a botched drug deal is overseen by a ruthless rebel soldier. Meanwhile, Emma Morton, a former Olympic gymnastics hopeful seeking escape from an overbearing mother and an embarrassing gymnastics mistake which cost her career, joins an "extreme adventure" bungee jump. Unknown to the backpackers, the jump site, run by the abrasive Brianna, is a front for smuggling meth. The thrill turns into a massacre when a tourist discovers the drugs, prompting the rebel soldier to open fire. In the chaos, Brianna reveals her own cold-blooded nature by executing the soldier. Emma survives the initial slaughter but ends up dangling from the bridge, spattered with blood and trapped in the canopy. To survive, Emma must battle the elements and her own trauma. She fends off a Burmese python, a giant centipede, and a predatory tiger, using her athletic resilience to endure. Meanwhile, Brianna hunts her down to eliminate the final witness. Their final standoff is cut short when the tiger returns, dragging Brianna into the brush. Emma, finally free of her past, deletes her social media and calls her mother to say she is "better," while the smuggler Da slips away with the spoils.
