Jessica, a freelance photographer and devoted mother, struggles to balance her professional ambitions with her responsibilities at home, especially with her husband away at college. But when she receives a lucrative job offer to shoot a high-profile modeling competition in the idyllic Sunshine Archipelago, it seems like the perfect opportunity.

Meanwhile, Mia, an aspiring model battling severe anxiety leftover from a traumatic childhood, sees the competition as a chance to prove herself. Accompanied by her supportive brother Alex, she boards the Sunset, the luxurious yacht of the hosting company, Hargon Realtie, unaware that this voyage will take her far beyond her comfort zone. As she is plagued by reminders of her late friend, Alice, the lines between what is and what can't possibly be begin to blur.

As the yacht narrowly evades the wrath of a hurricane, Jessica, Mia, and the other contestants find themselves taking refuge in an old, imposing hotel on the cliffs of the Sunshine Archipelago. But the storm outside is nothing compared to the horror that begins to unfold within.

When one of the models is brutally murdered, panic sets in. The power is out, the storm rages on, and a killer walks among them, leaving behind cryptic religious messages that speak of devils and fallen angels. As bodies begin to pile up, Mia must confront her deepest fears, and confront her past trauma head on.

With Jessica's sharp eye for detail, Mia's courage in the face of her demons, and the support of allies-both friend and foe alike, they begin to unravel the twisted motives behind the killings. But time is running out, and the storm is far from over. Can they survive the night and bring the killer to justice, or will they become the next victims of a deranged psychopath?
