The story follows billionaire Charles Abernathy who, on the eve of his 75th birthday, invites his four estranged children back home out of fear that tonight someone – or something – is coming to kill him. To ensure his family will help protect him from whatever’s coming, Abernathy puts each of their inheritances on the line – they’ll get nothing if he’s found dead by dawn.

Dan Clarke will serve as executive producer.

Brugués directed the 2012 movie Juan of the Dead; 2018’s Nightmare Cinema, on which he collaborated with Russo; as well as episodes for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series and Hulu’s Into the Dark. Brugués is repped by UTA, Wonder Street and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

LaMont and Russo’s credits include Hard Kill starring Bruce Willis and The Au Pair Nightmare. The duo is repped by Gersh, Fictional Entity and Morris, Yorn.
