A feature film based on the true story behind the bestselling book Bad Karma: The True Story of a Mexico Trip from Hell by Paul Wilson.
In the summer of 1978, three surfers from San Diego set out on a roadtrip through Mexico and find themselves pulled into an unforgettable journey of danger, survival, friendship, and the kind of story that feels too wild to be true.
Production begins September 2026.
