With a plot that’s definitely of the “what could possibly go wrong?” school.

Brainstorm Media releases THE BAY on VOD July 17. Written and directed by Phil Volken, it stars Francesca Eastwood, Alexander Wraith, Dani Oliveros and Ta Imua. The synopsis: “At a destination wedding in Thailand, best friends Emma and Lani join a shark-feeding tour that turns deadly when an aggressive tiger shark cripples their boat. Stranded in a remote bay breeding ground, panic spirals into violence as survival instincts take over. With rescue out of reach and time running out, safety is just in sight—but the bay between them belongs to the sharks.”
