STORY
What would you do if you were alone on a deserted island with a power-harassing "shitty boss"? Linda, who works on a strategy team at a consulting firm, is highly capable and strong with numbers. However, she is targeted by her new boss, Bradley, who has a power-harassing personality. One day, due to a plane crash during a business trip, they find themselves alone on a deserted island... What is the unexpected "big twist" that awaits them as the positions of the boss and subordinate are repeatedly reversed? This is an unpredictable, non-stop "revenge entertainment" dedicated by the genius director Sam Raimi of "The Evil Dead" and "Spider-Man" to all working people!
PRODUCTION NOTE
An extreme survival drama where positions are reversed! Does social hierarchy apply even on a deserted island?

The core idea behind this film was the unique concept of "reversal of power dynamics." Director Sam Raimi was fascinated by the question, "What if a woman who has been unfairly treated at work reverses her position in an extreme environment?" A boss who holds power in corporate society has no means of survival on a deserted island. On the other hand, the protagonist, who is usually not appreciated, possesses survival knowledge. The unpredictable shift in power dynamics, where "true abilities" that are hard to see in civilized society are exposed, and how human relationships change, is the greatest highlight of this film.
Realistic reproduction of survival techniques supervised by experts
During filming in Thailand, Kai Farno, an Australian survival expert and stuntwoman, played an important role. She has served as a stunt double for Hollywood actresses and has a record in the survival program "Naked and Afraid," possessing practical wilderness survival skills. Director Sam Raimi emphasized the realism of the survival depiction, and Farno utilized her 16 years of stunt experience to reflect realistic techniques. Knowledge such as securing water, hunting, making fire, and building shelters supports the realism of the survival depiction in the film. The film offers a wonderful cinematic experience while also providing practical survival knowledge.
