Directed by Alexandre Courtes, the thriller follows George, Max and Ricky, three guys in a rock band waiting for their big breakthrough. Between small gigs and rehearsals they work in the kitchen of a high-security asylum for good pay at minimum risk – they have no physical contact with the inmates.
One night just before dinnertime, a big storm shuts down the security system, the doors open and the lunatics break loose. Help is on its way and should soon arrive – they just have to survive until it does.
Meanwhile, The Pact, which premiered at Sundance and was acquired by IFC, will receive a release on July 6th.

Annie begins experiencing a series of intense and disturbing dreams visions that lead her to uncover something terrible about her mother’s past that is finally revealing itself.
