The movie is described as a mash-up of The Breakfast Club and 10 Cloverfield Lane. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBewkes makes his feature directorial debut with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/indie-film\/\" id=\"auto-tag_indie-film_1\" data-tag=\"indie-film\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">indie film<\/a> that he also wrote and produces for Hang Six Films.
