Tia receives a series of mysterious whispers that lead her to a boarding house near her brother’s university. The boarding house is owned by a couple, Rosa (Putri Ayudya) and Jefri (Miller Khan). Tia suspects that Rosa is hiding something, and she is soon warned by a mysterious young man named Nathan (Omar Daniel) to leave the boarding house. Tia continues to investigate her brother’s disappearance, and she soon discovers that he is being held captive by a cult. The cult is led by a powerful demon called Kanjeng Iblis, who is determined to use Tia’s brother for his own evil purposes.

Sitting In Bars With Cakes (8 September 2023)

Inspired by true events, Sitting in Bars with Cake follows best friends Jane (Yara Shahidi) and Corinne (Odessa A’zion) navigating life in Los Angeles in their twenties. Corinne, the ultimate extrovert, convinces her shy-but-extremely-talented home baker best friend Jane to commit to a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars with the goal of meeting people and developing confidence – also known as “cakebarring.” During their year of “cakebarring,” Corinne receives a life-altering diagnosis, and the pair face a challenge unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Sitting in Bars with Cake isn’t only a madcap joyride through some of L.A.’s most colourful watering holes, it’s a moving celebration of female friendship, forging identity, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.

The Kidnapping Day (13 September 2023)

Myeong-jun goes to kidnap 11-year-old Ro-hee, at his ex-wife Hye-eun’s suggestion, in order to pay for his daughter Hee-ae’s hospital bills. On the way to her abduction, he accidentally hits Ro-hee with his car, and she wakes up with no memory of anything. Myeong-jun escapes the crisis by deceiving Ro-hee and pretending to be her father. He tries to get money from the child’s parents, but he finds the couple dead after being unable to contact them. Myeong-jun hurriedly runs away for fear of being framed for murder. Ro-hee, who has an extraordinary brain, gradually begins to doubt Myeong-jun and starts remembering fragments of memories.

Wilderness Season 1 (15 September 2023)

Based on B.E. Jones’ novel of the same name, Wilderness features British couple Liv (Coleman) and Will (Jackson-Cohen) who seem to have it all: a rock-solid marriage; a glamorous new life in New York thousands of miles from their provincial hometown; and still young enough to feel that their whole lives are ahead of them. Until Liv learns about Will’s affair. Heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion: fury. Revenge is her only option, and when Will proposes a trip around America’s epic National Parks to give their relationship a fresh start, Liv knows just how to get it… Wilderness is a twisted love story, where a dream holiday and a supposedly “happily-ever-after” quickly turns into a living nightmare.

A Million Miles Away (15 September 2023)

Inspired by the real-life story of NASA flight engineer José Hernández, A Million Miles Away follows him and his devoted family of proud migrant farm workers on a decades-long journey, from a rural village in Michoacán, Mexico, to the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, to more than 200 miles above the Earth in the International Space Station. With the unwavering support of his hard-working parents, relatives and teachers, José’s unrelenting drive & determination culminates in the opportunity to achieve his seemingly impossible goal. Acclaimed writer and director Alejandra Márquez Abella has created a dazzling tribute to the loyalty and tenacity of the entire Hernández family, as well as anyone who dares to dream.

When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.
