Leave the World Behind
Amanda and Clay anticipate a relaxing vacation in a luxurious Long Island rental with their children. Their peace is shattered by a late-night knock from Ruth and G.

Isolated and without communication, both families grapple with uncertainty, questioning what to believe and whether they can trust each other as the world outside descends into chaos.
