The movie follows a journey into uncharted territory through three tales tangled in space and time. Braga and Barker (Hellraiser, Candyman) are also executive producing the Fox 21 and Fuzzy Door production Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy, The Orville), Erica Huggins (The Dark Tower, Get on Up), Alana Kleiman, Brian Witten (Creepshow, Chernobyl Diaries), Jeff Kwatinetz (Royal Pains), Josh Barry (I Am Not Okay with This) and Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut).
