The Glades

The deeper you go, the less of you comes back.

For Paul and his teenage son Ethan, it was supposed to be a weekend of bonding and backwater adventure-an escape from the noise of the world with Paul's closest lifelong friends. But when their airboat breaks down deep within the Florida Everglades, they're thrust into a nightmare far beyond anything they could've imagined.

The Glades are no ordinary wilderness.

This swamp watches.

It waits.

It remembers.

Stalked by something ancient and predatory, the group quickly learns they are not alone. A monstrous hybrid serpent, the product of tampered science and tribal legend, rules these waters, and it's not the only thing lurking. Whispers of an old Indian tribe echo through the cypress trees-people who vanished from history but never surrendered their land.

Cut off from civilization and with a hurricane closing in, the group must navigate a labyrinth of sawgrass, secrets, and survival. As tensions rise and sanity unravels, Paul and Ethan are forced to confront the fractured pieces of their relationship before the swamp swallows them whole.

The Glades is a relentless survival thriller steeped in blood, bonding, and the brutal power of nature's forgotten places.

Here, survival isn't about who's the strongest.

It's about who the swamp lets go.
