What to expect

FYRE FESTIVAL meets ONE OF THE GIRLS in this psychological thriller with twists you'll never see coming.

'It's the hottest ticket in town. But once you're in, there's no getting out.'

Jody, Ari and Carla have won golden tickets to the summer’s hottest music festival, which promises to be full of glamour, mystique and lots of freebies.

But, arriving on the sun-drenched shores of a private Greek island among influencers and celebrities, the trio are dismayed to find the small festival site far from the beacon of music, art and ‘immersive experiences’ they were promised. Disappointed but not deterred, they vow to make the most of the trip.

But when a shocking discovery on day three turns the festival into a nightmare, the girls find themselves trapped on the island with no escape…
