PlotIn a quest to uncover the whereabouts of a missing boy, two private investigators break into his house, only to find a collection of mysterious VHS tapes. As they start to watch the horrifying content recorded on the tapes, it’s clear that they have stumbled upon far more than they bargained for. Each tape reveals a series of deranged, terrifying tales that seem to be connected by a thread of dark, unsettling energy. From a man encountering a seemingly malevolent eye in his prosthetic arm to a bizarre cult seeking the next vessel for their deity, the stories plunge them deeper into a world of horror that blurs the lines between the living and the dead.
The deeper the investigators dive into the tapes, the more the sinister forces behind the videos start to manifest in the real world. Unbeknownst to them, each tape watched draws them closer into a nightmarish vortex from which escape seems increasingly unlikely. With every story more disturbing than the last, the investigation turns into a fight for survival, hinting at a dark reality behind the disappearance of the boy and challenging their sanity. Desperate to understand the connection between the tapes and the boy's disappearance, they must sift through the chaos, with the hope of uncovering the truth being as terrifying as the horrors contained within the tapes themselves.
