Omar Naim (The Final Cut) is helming the film, which centers on a newly engaged couple that embark on a road-trip to meet the bride’s mother. Along the way the couple decide to take a detour to a distant relative, but soon fine themselves trapped in a life-threatening situation until one of them has to take matters into their own hands.

Gaby Whyte Hart, Michael Kuperberg and Dave Valleau are producing the film, which is slated to begin shooting in July. Mark Wheeler, Fredrik Malmberg and Tex Antonucci are executive producing.
