See the films the platforms disagree about most →Three childhood friends, now adults drifting apart, are bound by a powerful oath they made to each other as kids. When one of them is faced with a life-altering crisis, the old promise forces them to reunite. However, fulfilling the oath now requires them to undertake a dangerous and morally questionable task that conflicts with their present-day lives and responsibilities. The journey tests their friendship, their integrity, and forces them to decide what they are truly willing to sacrifice for a vow made in their youth.
