In Pre-Production
When high-school cheerleader Christina Winwood begins selling a designer drug that lets users see the dead, she must overcome increasingly hostile spirits and the supernatural consequences of distributing it, in order to survive the realm she has accidentally opened, by uncovering the rules governing Stairway to Heaven before the dead permanently cross into the living world. “Getting high opens the door. Something else comes through.”
Stairway to Heaven offers an extraordinary high because it pierces the veil between life and death. Users can see ghosts—but because they have crossed into the ghosts’ domain, the ghosts can physically affect them. Christina’s lucrative new drug therefore becomes a supernatural epidemic. Surviving the first hauntings only raises larger questions about who created the substance, what lies beyond the veil and who might deliberately weaponize it.
