Blue Fox Entertainment and Vertical have announced that they’ve acquired Games We Play, a psychological thriller directed by Rachael Dahl in her feature directorial debut. Along with the announcement comes the first look photo above, featuring Casey Cott (Riverdale) and Margot Pitts (FBI). Pitts also co-wrote the script with Molly Scharlin Ben-Hamoo.

Here’s the official synopsis: Tapping into the increasingly resonant themes of social pressure, groupthink and the universal desire to belong, Games We Play follows Imogen (Pitts), who joins her boyfriend Jack (Cott) and his two childhood best friends, Gage (Dylan McTee) and Freddie (Adam Faison), for a weekend getaway. When she finds herself the unmistakable outsider, Imogen becomes desperate to win their approval. But as she is forced to participate in a tournament of high-stakes games, the experience takes a sinister turn, pushing her to compromise her identity and instincts while questioning both her sanity and her safety. What begins as a pursuit of acceptance spirals into a chilling psychological game where the stakes are far more dangerous than fitting in.

Ah, the things we do for acceptance.

Producers are Taryn Gates and Raza Rizvi. Molly Scharlin Ben-Hamoo and Margot Pitts executive produced.

Said Molly Scharlin Ben-Hamoo, “Games We Play is a timely examination of the universal struggle for social survival, where the desire to belong can become just as dangerous as the fight to stay alive. Rachael Dahl has crafted a compelling psychological thriller that taps into the pressures we all recognize, while taking them to a terrifying extreme. We are excited to partner with Vertical Entertainment and Blue Fox Entertainment to bring this story to audiences around the world.”
