LOGLINE:

A group of content creators break inside a home for a social media challenge. Unaware that the home belongs to a violent serial killer.

SYNOPSIS:

Derek Washington, a "cancelled" YouTuber haunted by the mysterious death of his father, has grown obsessed with uncovering the truth behind both his father's demise and the recent string of disappearances in Brookstown. Convinced the two are connected, his investigation leads him to a cursed, abandoned house at the edge of town.

Desperate to find answers, Derek tries to convince his fellow content creating friends to join him in exploring the house. They dismiss him at first, until Derek spins it into a social media challenge that could boost their chances of going viral. With fame on the line for them and the truth for Derek, they agree to the dangerous stunt.

But once inside, they quickly realize they've stepped into something far darker than a social media challenge—a place where their deepest fears manifest, and a malevolent force is watching their every move. Things quickly spirals into a nightmare as something-or someone-begins to hunt them.
