Full plot (contains spoilers)
Frida and her friend Jess are invited to a private island by billionaire Slater King. While the women are treated to luxury and hallucinogens, Frida notices a mysterious maid and a sense of dread. After Jess is bitten by a snake and goes missing, Frida discovers that the women's memories are being manipulated by a special perfume. They realize they were brought to the island to be systematically assaulted by the men, who use the perfume to erase the women's memories of the crimes. Frida and Sarah discover the truth and begin to distribute an antidote—snake venom—to the other women. As the truth unfolds, a violent confrontation erupts; the women fight back against the men, leading to several deaths. Frida eventually faces Slater in his villa, where she learns she had been on the island the previous year and had her memories wiped. In the final confrontation, Frida laces Slater's vape with the perfume, causing him to lose his grip on reality as the villa burns. The film ends with Frida married to a confused Slater, using the perfume to keep him in a state of perpetual confusion while she operates as the CEO of his company.
