What happens to Channing Tatum?

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for ‘Blink Twice,’ in theaters now.

In Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, paradise is not quite what it seems.

Early in “Blink Twice,” roommates and cocktail waitresses Frida (Naomi Ackie) and Jess (Alia Shawkat) work a party for Slater King, a charming, handsome, vaping billionaire tech CEO played by Channing Tatum.

Frida is enchanted by Slater, and by the end of the evening she gets herself and Jess invited for a holiday on his private island. Slater has been keeping a low profile lately, as Frida watches an interview in which he apologizes for vague past misconduct. He promises to do better, blah blah blah. It doesn’t seem to bother Frida. She’s too busy with her “anailmals,” her animal-themed fingernail art.

On the island, Frida and Jess are joined by a handful of other scantily clad women and Slater’s inner circle, including his sister Stacy (Geena Davis), who also serves as his personal assistant. At the start of the trip, everyone hands in their cell phones and every day they drink champagne, laze by the pool, eat gourmet food and take psychedelic drugs. The only threat on the island are the poisonous snakes that hide in the grass.

Soon Frida notices strange things happening: she keeps noticing dirt under her fingernails and a stain on her dress mysteriously disappears. The days begin to blur together and this tropical dream turns into a nightmare when Jess is bitten by one of the snakes. Slater and co. assure Jess that she won’t die, and they leave her alone while the party continues.

The next day, Jess begins to panic and insists to Frida that this trip is not what it seems. Frida brushes off her worries: she’s caught Slater’s attention, and—contrary to how they’re told to act like cocktail waitresses—it’s nice not to feel invisible for once.

As she navigates the island’s luxurious cabins, Frida keeps coming across a housekeeper tasked with killing those pesky snakes. The housekeeper repeatedly shouts “Red rabbit!” when she sees Frida and offers her a sip of a mysterious green liquid in one scene. Frida recoils at the taste and immediately discovers that it is snake venom.

Soon, Frida comes to a terrifying realization: where is Jess? She hasn’t seen her friend since the snakebite, and the rest of the girls on the island don’t even seem to remember she was there in the first place. Suppressed memories come to the surface. It all starts to make sense: every night the women take drugs given to them by Slater and his entourage and are seen running through the grass with their white robes trailing behind them. Every morning they wake up with no memory of what happened the night before. The snake venom counteracts the amnestic effects of the drugs, while visions of unspoken horrors seep into Frida’s mind: under the influence of the drugs, the women (and a young man, it is implied) are attacked and raped again and again. Stripped of those traumatic memories, they unknowingly go on holiday with their rapists. In one flashback, the men kill Jess – whose snakebite will soon reveal the truth – in front of the women.

Frida tries to explain what she has discovered to another woman on the island, Sarah, a survival show alum played by Adria Arjona. Sarah doesn’t remember Jess, but she trusts Frida enough to drink the poison, which has a bad taste. Together they devise a plan to inform the other women on the island: mix the green poison with tequila and serve it in shot glasses by the pool. Yet the women are aware that even if they make it out alive, their stories are unlikely to be believed. “The crazy thing is you get on a plane with a bunch of guys we don’t know,” says Sarah, predicting the arguments that will be used against them.

At the pool, even the tense and panicky Stacy, who usually scours the island for menial tasks, takes some poison-infused shots. The memories bubble up. But while they fill the other women with righteous anger, Stacy violently confronts Frida. “I didn’t want to remember,” Stacy says. Of course she knows about the crimes. She helps facilitate them. If Slater is Kravitz’s interpretation of Jeffrey Epstein, Stacy is her Ghislaine Maxwell.

Frida manages to kill Stacy and flee. The men are on a field trip, so Frida sneaks into Slater’s room to retrieve the phones. Instead, she finds a box of Polaroids, documenting all the women brought to the island.

At dinner, Frida and Sarah bide their time as they wait for the poison to take effect in the other women. With their traumatic memories returned, the women go on the offensive and fight their rapists to the beat of Beyoncé’s anthem “I’m That Girl.” It’s a total massacre, during which a horrifying realization enters Frida’s memory: this is not her first time on the island. Years ago, Frida was violently attacked by Slater and dragged across the ground with dirt stuck under her nails. Nails decorated with red rabbits.

At the end of the battle, only Frida, Sarah and Slater remain. Slater almost revels in the destruction, as Frida and Sarah gain the upper hand and burn his estate to the ground. But as revealed in the film’s final scene, they didn’t kill Slater. Instead, Frida has filled his vape with the psychedelic drugs and is waiting for the authorities to rescue them, preparing for the ultimate payback.

At a gala similar to the party in the opening scene, Frida, not Slater, is honored. With her rapist by her side, Frida has taken on the role of CEO of Slater’s tech empire and married him. It is an ending that is both triumphant and disturbing, as Frida puts into practice the motto she shares with Jess at the beginning of the film: “Success is the best revenge.”
