When Gabe and a high-profile client are taken hostage during an adventurous weekend trip, his daughter has to use all her climbing skills to outwit the kidnappers, triggering a battle of life and death”, says Screen Daily, who have the scoop.

Lars Sylvest and Thorsten Schumacher will produce alognside Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe, Maze’s Philipp Kreuzer and Occupant’s Joe Neurauter.

The summer 2024 shoot will see cameras largely stationed in Bavaria – at the Penzing Studios and in Munich’s city centre.
