Bloody Dunes
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.
Bloody Dunes follows a rebellious trio of high school girls who skip their prom's after-party for a wild weekend with older kite-surfers on the mysterious Curonian Peninsula, a land divided by Lithuania and Kaliningrad, Russia. What begins as carefree fun turns dark when they witness shadowy figures dragging blood-soaked bags toward the Russian border. The next day, prom queen Nastia narrowly escapes drowning, but vanishes mysteriously from the hospital before her friends can see her. Determined to save Nastia, the group returns to the dunes and embarks on a harrowing journey that leads them to the very edge of Kaliningrad, where they uncover a sinister organ trafficking network. Their mission to save their friend spirals into a fight for their own survival.
