While on a retreat with her husband and brother-in-law, and after suffering the loss of a child, she is faced with the threat of self destruction in order to regain the life she knew before her loss. These parallel gates may hold the key to releasing her grief or trapping her forever.

The exec producers are Elliott Michael Smith, Rumble Riot Pictures, Lei Zheng and Chengxi Li. Pic is a co-production between Rumble Riot, Beijing Pu Luo Media Co and Hodge Brothers Productions.

Rumble Riot made the RZA-directed Cut Throat City, currently playing on Netflix. Led by casting director Cynthia Huffman, the filmmakers are searching for their female lead to start production in the fall.
