Young, wild, and free: this college girls friend group lives unapologetically to party and enjoy life — no matter the drama. So when an uncharacteristic freakout from Amber (Helena Howard) on a yacht sees Lavinia (Bella Thorne), Zosia (Zion Moreno), Lola (Chloe Cherry), and Maddy (Sophia Ali) exiled from their wider group, the girls double-down on their Joshua Tree roadtrip and revel in their escape together. That is, until uneasy feelings start seeping in from their aggressive neighbour and toxic behaviours start to fester between them. Encompassing every facet of a bad trip with vibrating visuals and anxiety-inducing stranger-danger situations, Pakzad’s genre debut serves an unforgettable slice of desert mischief, mystery, and menace that can’t be missed.
