The film, written and directed by Justin Dec, centers on a young nurse who after downloading an app that predicts exactly when a person is going to die and discovers she is supposed to die in three days must figure out why her time is running out and who or what is the mysterious figure following her.
The cast is set to be led by Elizabeth Lail, the breakout star of the Lifetime-turned-Netflix psychological thriller series You, and in addition to Peter Facinelli (Supergirl), Talitha Bateman (Annabelle: Creationb), P.J. Byrne (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Anne Winters (13 Reasons Why) will also feature Jordan Calloway (Black Lightning), Tom Segura (Instant Family) and Tichina Arnold (The Last Black Man in San Francisco).

Anders will produce the film alongside John Morris (Sex Drive), John Rickard (Rampage) and Zack Schiller (Escape Plan), while Drew Simon and Catherine Hagedorn will oversee the production for STX Films.
