On an isolated island, Uma wakes up to find herself at Paradise Hills, a facility where high-class families send their daughters to become perfect versions of themselves. The facility is run by the mysterious Duchess where calibrated treatments including etiquette classes, vocal lessons, beauty treatments, gymnastics and restricted diets, revolve all physical and emotional shortcomings within two months. The outspoken Uma finds solace and friendship in other Paradise Hills residents — Chloe, Yu and Mexican popstar Amarna. Uma soon realizes that lurking behind all this beauty is a sinister secret. It’s a race against the clock as Uma and her friends try to escape Paradise Hills before it consumes them all.
Paradise Hills will be led by an ensemble cast consists of Emma Roberts (American Horror Story) as Uma, Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil franchise) as The Duchess, Danielle Macdonald (Dumplin, Bird Box) as Chloe, Awkwafina (Ocean’s Eight, Crazy Rich Asians) as Yu, and Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver) as Amarna.
