The various members of the Galloway family gather to depart for their annual reunion, on the familial private island. With them comes years of pent-up anger, jostling for position, and competition to impress and be the favorite of family patriarch Spencer. As the group settles in, Spencer introduces his doctor, Dr. Trinh, and reveals shocking plans for his future. Adding to the chaotic news, Spencer reveals to the family that the winner of a series of competitions will stand to inherit his entire estate, regardless of past conflicts and threats about his fortune. Grappling with the shocking news, the family reflects on the events of the past that lead them to this point.

Following two shocking additions to the family competition, the group begins the first in a series of brutal challenges, still reeling from the news that the winner will stand to inherit the entire Galloway fortune. Dr. Trinh also reveals some devastating news about Spencer’s role as the overseer of the games, leading to long-simmering brotherly competition raging between Jayden and Seamus. Meanwhile, The Gentleman is spotted in his first appearance to the group, and makes his killer intentions known.

Terrified and traumatized, the remaining Galloway clan mourn their first loss as they also realize that they have no way off the island until the weekend is over.
