PlotA wealthy and eccentric amusement park mogul throws a bizarre birthday party for his wife in an abandoned and notorious mental asylum. He offers a reward of one million dollars to each guest who can survive a night in the haunted building. The guests, strangers to each other, are a seemingly random mix of individuals, including a former baseball player, a TV personality, and an executive assistant. Immediately upon arrival, strange and supernatural occurrences begin, causing the guests to question their sanity and the truth behind the history of the asylum.
As the night progresses, the guests encounter haunting manifestations of the asylum's gruesome past, which includes experiments conducted on the patients by a sadistic doctor. The atmosphere becomes increasingly tense and dangerous as alliances are formed and suspicion grows among them. Locked in, with no way of escape, the guests must confront their own fears and the secrets that the asylum holds. By dawn, those who survive the terrifying ordeal may uncover who or what is truly behind the horrific events taking place.
