    SYNOPSIS
    A young woman harboring an unhealthy obsession with a famous influencer gets the chance to infiltrate her exclusive friend group when she is invited for a weekend of celebration at a seaside motel. Things take a dark turn when the festivities mix with the occult, and an unlikely terror from within is unleashed.

    The pursuit of WHITE SANDS is to serve as a warning. A warning to all who follow blindly the allure of wealth and power. Who put aside reasoning, morals, and codes of ethics, to be led to the slaughter by those in positions of authority. On the surface, it is a cautionary tale about the dangers of social media. And the implicit trust many put in complete strangers, merely because the personas that they curate online are convincing, attractive, and appealing.
