This is the story of “Infinity Pool”
Six years have passed since James’s (Alexander Skarsgård) first book, which was only moderately successful. With his well-to-do wife Em (Cleopatra Coleman), the writer enjoys a perfect vacation with beautiful beaches, the best food and luxurious accommodation in the remote island resort of La Tolqa. Here he now hopes to find inspiration for a second work.
On the spot, the two meet Gabi (Mia Goth), who is fascinating and mysterious, and her husband Alban (Jalil Lespert). The couple convinces James and Em to leave the safety of the resort grounds together and explore the island on their own. However, during the outing, James accidentally runs over and kills a man suddenly standing on the country road.
As it turns out, the island nation has a zero tolerance policy towards crime. Detective Thresh (Thomas Kretschmann) tells James that he will be sentenced to death. But there’s a loophole: for an insanely large sum of money, a clone double could be executed in his place. James agrees, pays and is released, but then – again thanks to Gabi – he soon becomes entangled in a rampant maelstrom of violence and hedonism…
