PlotA small theater troupe is rehearsing for an upcoming production at an isolated theater. The cast and crew are unaware that an escaped mental patient with a history of violent behavior is hiding within the building. As tensions over budget constraints and artistic differences flair, the killer masks himself as the production's central character, effectively blending in with the cast. The troupe is locked inside, unable to reach help due to a powerful storm and a lack of communication options. As rehearsals continue, strange occurrences begin to unsettle the group, heightening their frustration and fear.
Gradually, the masked intruder starts executing his macabre plan. Cast and crew members start disappearing one by one, leading to panic among the survivors. With everyone trapped and no clear way to escape the glorified death trap, the line between the play and reality blurs tragically. The remaining members must come together to outwit their assailant, using their wits and limited resources to survive the ordeal. Each choice they make becomes a crucial step in a desperate struggle to stay alive until help arrives or the killer is stopped.
