Gist: Lucy (Demi Moore) is the egotistical megalomaniac CEO of Incredible Edibles, America’s premier provider of edible cutlery. In her infinite wisdom, Lucy leads her staff including her long-suffering assistants, Freddie (Karan Soni) and Jess (Jessica Williams), on a corporate team-building caving weekend to New Mexico. When disaster strikes, not even their useless guide, Brandon (Ed Helms), can save them. Trapped underground by a cave-in, this mismatched and disgruntled group must pull together in order to survive.

Production Co./Producers: Snoot Entertainment’s Jessica Calder and Keith Calder, Mike Falbo, Ed Helms

Prediction: Premieres section.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic). Protagonist Pictures (international)
