Plot

Detective Lucas McCarthy captures and brings the sadistic serial killer Max Jenke to justice. The ordeal leaves McCarthy deeply traumatized, with haunting nightmares that persist as Jenke is sentenced to the electric chair. Despite Jenke's execution, McCarthy's terror doesn't end; he continues to experience terrifying visions and unexplainable events in his home, raising questions about whether Jenke has truly been put to rest. His obsession with closing this dark chapter affects his relationship with his family, creating a strained and fearful domestic life.

As McCarthy tries to understand and confront these supernatural occurrences, he works with both his skeptical partner and a paranormal expert who believes Jenke's spirit might still be wreaking havoc. The paranormal expert suggests that Jenke's malevolent force has transcended death, gaining power from the fear he instills. Tensions mount as McCarthy battles both real and spectral threats, culminating in a confrontation that pushes him to his psychological limits. The story explores themes of trauma, fear, and the nature of evil, leaving its characters (and audience) questioning the boundaries between the living and the dead.
