The Story
When a teenager dives to the bottom of a massive wave pool to retrieve his lost GoPro, he accidentally noclips through reality into an impossible world of endless swimming pools, fluorescent-lit corridors, towering water slides, and strange architecture stretching beyond comprehension.
With only his camera to document the nightmare, he searches desperately for a way home. But the deeper he ventures into the labyrinth, the harder it becomes to ignore the terrifying possibility that he is not alone… and whatever is watching him has been there a very long time.
