Overview[]
Guy Cappa and Prisca Cappa are going through a separation. To avoid depressing their young children, Maddox and Trent, the couple decide to take them to a tropical resort as a final family holiday. At the hotel, Guy and Prisca are given complimentary drinks, and the children befriend Idlib, the resort manager's nephew. At night, Maddox and Trent overhear their parents arguing and play a message-decoding game with Idlib. During the argument, it is revealed that Prisca has a mild slow-growing ovarian tumor.
The next morning, the manager invites the family to a secluded beach where three extra parties are present: rapper Mid-Sized Sedan and his female friend; surgeon Charles, his elderly mother Agnes, his wife Chrystal, and their young daughter Kara; as well as Jarin and Patricia Carmichael, an intimate husband and wife. Trent discovers the corpse of Brendan's partner. Charles grows suspicious of Brendan, who reveals that he has been going through nosebleeds because of his hemophilia. After the children rapidly turn into teenagers and Agnes unexpectedly dies, the families deduce that the beach is aging them, with the occupants experiencing the equivalent of one year of aging every 30 minutes. At least one member of each family has an underlying medical condition. They realize that attempting to leave will result in them blacking out and waking up back where they went.
In a fit of rage, Charles cuts Brendan with a pocket knife, and the group watches as his injury quickly heals. Prisca's seemingly slow-growing ovarian tumor rapidly grows in size at a life-threatening rate. Charles performs a prosperous surgery to remove it. Brendan discovers that the body of his companion has fully deteriorated in a matter of hours. Kara and Trent continue to age into their late teens, and after having sex with each other, Kara gets expectant at a rapid pace. She gives birth, but the baby dies due to the time rapidly decreasing. The attempts to leave grow increasingly tense as Charles's heightening schizophrenia causes him to kill Brendan. As the day goes on, Jarin drowns and Kara falls to her demise in their attempts to find a way off the island, and Patricia suffers a lethal epileptic seizure. Guy's eyesight blurs and Prisca suffers from hearing loss. Trent and Maddox find the notebook of a previous traveler, along with clues of their being watched. At night, Charles attacks Guy and Prisca in a schizophrenic episode; Prisca runs as Charles continues to attack Guy. Chrystal's hypocalcemia results in her bones rupturing, killing her. Prisca returns and slashes Charles with a rusted knife, provoking a fatal blood infection that kills him. An elderly Guy and Prisca expiate before dying moments separated from each other.
With solely the now middle-aged Maddox and Trent staying by the next morning, the pair build a sandcastle. They review a secret message provided to them by Idlib, which Trent deduces is related to an underwater coral passage. Thinking that the passage will let them leave the beach without losing consciousness, he and his sister begins swimming through the coral. After they apparently fail to appear from the water, a resort employee who is watching them reports that the entire group has died. He gives the news to the manager, who warns of an earlier incident where a guest almost ran from the beach. The manager then declares that trial 73 has been completed.
It is indicated that the resort is a front for a research team from the pharmaceutical company Warren & Warren that was performing clinical trials of new medical drugs, which are distributed to guests with medical conditions by spiking their drinks. Because the beach naturally speeds up the lives of the guests, the researchers have been able to finalize the lifelong drug trials within a day. The researchers move forward by luring a new group to the beach, but are interrupted by Trent and Maddox, who survived their underwater swim, turning to the notebook as evidence that they give to vacationing police officer Greg Mitchell, who notifies his boss of the researchers' crimes. The researchers are said to have been apprehended, with warrants sent to the rest of Warren & Warren, as Greg prepares to reunite Trent and Maddox with their aunt.
