In the sun-soaked suburbs of Orange County, CA, Roya returns home for a fresh start, only to find themselves entangled in a web of desire at an all-women’s yoga studio. Reunited with their first love, Niusha, and drawn to Arta, a magnetic trans man, Roya is thrust into a whirlwind of trans-for-trans passion. As loyalties shift and old wounds resurface, the studio becomes a battleground where love and hate blur. Meanwhile, Roya must navigate their autonomy amidst building Iranian family pressures.

In danger of losing his badge, a big city detective agrees to aid a small town sheriff in a routine missing persons investigation only to discover that at least one girl has gone missing in this sleepy fishing town each year for the last twenty years. When a body finally emerges on the lake and suspects literally crawl out of the hills, the two lawmen realize they’re being toyed with and to make things worse, the killer seems to have set his eyes on a group of sorority girls who are not only isolated by the lake, but have their own nefarious plans in mind. Outnumbered and out of options, the two lawmen must solve the mystery of the missing girls or suffer the same fate.
