Infinity Pool is the latest movie from Brandon Cronenberg, and follows couple made up of struggling author James Foster (Alexander Skarsgård) and his wife Em(Cleopatra Coleman), who are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa. So far, so good. Even when James' fan Abi (Mia Goth) intervenes, it could be worse, right?

It takes a dark turn when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence, and surreal horrors. Strap in for a wild ride, as is to be expected with the Cronenberg name!

Meanwhile, several grisly homicides terrorizes the city, and a distraught father, fire chief Vincent, unexpectedly reunites with his long-lost son, Adrien, who has been missing for a decade.
