Steve offers the inmates a chance to try out the drugs in exchange for lighter sentences.

Miles Teller stars as Jeff who undergoes Steve's drug trials. Jeff then starts to form a connection with fellow inmate Lizzy, played by Jurnee Smollett.

Jeff starts to realize that not everything is what it seems that there is a dark side to Steve's plan and his drugs.

Spiderhead, from director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), is coming to Netflix on June 17. The film is based on a short story by George Saunders that appeared in The New Yorker.

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) penned the script. Co-stars include Mark Paguo and Tess Haubrich.
