Heretic
When three middle-aged fathers chaperone their teenage daughters on a rowdy school trip to a remote archipelago island, tensions quickly escalate into something sinister, and their grip on the situation begins to slip. As they are pulled into conflicts that stir dark memories from their own pasts, the boundaries between play and dangerous power struggles dissolve — and victims and perpetrators become impossible to tell apart.
