In a small town, an industrial laundry machine in the Blue Ribbon Laundry facility becomes the center of a series of gruesome accidents. The machine, known to the workers as The Mangler, appears to be malfunctioning, resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. Local police officer John Hunton investigates the incidents and quickly becomes suspicious of foul play. As he delves deeper, he enlists the help of his brother-in-law Mark Jackson, a metaphysics expert, to understand the supernatural aspects surrounding the machine. Together, they uncover a series of dark secrets tied to the laundry facility and its owner, Bill Gartley.

As Hunton and Jackson conduct further investigations, they discover disturbing connections between the accidents and sinister rituals that have been performed on The Mangler. Their findings point towards the machine being possessed by a malevolent force that feeds on human suffering. The duo races against time to dismantle the horrifying curse and put an end to the carnage. As they gather evidence and testimonies, they realize that dealing with this malevolent entity will require more than just conventional methods. With rising stakes and mounting tension, they prepare to confront the evil lurking within the industrial machinery.
