Per The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is about a diverse group of young people that band together to combat the system of injustice and unfairness and topple the corrupt academic institutions around them in a high-stakes and high-octane thriller.

The original film, titled Chalard Games Goeng (Bad Genius), was written and directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya. The film was produced by the Thai film studio GDH 559 Company Limited. It broke box office records in Thailand when it was released in 2017 and was the highest-grossing Thai film that year.

International distribution partners include StudioCanal in the UK.

This will be the feature film debut of Banks, who has garnered acclaim for his role as Will the Peacock drama series Bel-Air.
