Tagline:
The traces of the missing prom queen lead her friends to the border of Kaliningrad, Russia and the signs of the organ trafficking network but the lost girl is not the one who needs saving.
Synopsis:
In "Bloody Dunes" a rebellious trio of high school girls forgo their prom's sanctioned after-party to indulge in an adrenaline-fueled weekend with older kite-surfers on the enigmatic Curonian Peninsula. This 100 km stretch of land, bisected by the remnants of the Soviet Union, now straddles Lithuania and Kaliningrad.
As night falls on their first evening camping by the towering dunes, the group witnesses a chilling scene: shadowy figures dragging massive body bags towards the Kaliningrad border. The next day, amid the thrills of learning to kite-surf, prom queen Nastia narrowly escapes death by drowning, only to vanish from the hospital after her friends arrive to visit.
With mounting horror, the girls realize the unsettling connection between the body bag handlers and the seemingly innocent paramedics. Determined to rescue Nastia, they return to the dunes and embark on a harrowing journey that leads them to the very edge of Kaliningrad, where they uncover a sinister organ trafficking network.
Throughout the season, tension and suspense are woven together as the characters band together to outwit the ruthless organ traffickers, ultimately fighting not for their friend's life, but for their own survival.
