Emmett/Furla Films co-CEO Randall Emmett developed the story with Emile Hirsch, with the scripts being written by Alan Horsnail, who wrote Emmett’s directorial debut, Midnight in the Switchgrass.
The story centers around a ‘top-secret resort for retired U.S. intelligence officers,’ which gets breached by a group of daring criminals lead by Balzary (Murray).
The group targets a retired officer named Robert (Willis), who is forced to spring into action with his son (Metcalfe) to save the day.
