PlotA young couple, Katie and Micah, begin experiencing strange, unsettling phenomena in their suburban home. Katie reveals that she has been tormented by a supernatural presence since childhood, a revelation that deeply concerns Micah. Determined to capture evidence of the haunting, Micah sets up video cameras throughout their house, hoping to document any paranormal activity. The cameras capture a series of increasingly disturbing events, including inexplicable noises, shadowy figures, and objects moving on their own, suggesting that they are not alone.
As the manifestations grow more intense, the couple's relationship strains under the escalating fear and stress. Micah becomes obsessed with uncovering the nature of the entity haunting them, resorting to increasingly provocative methods despite Katie's pleas for caution. Their attempts to communicate with and confront the presence only seem to aggravate the situation, leading to a terrifying escalation of paranormal activity. The couple realizes too late that they are dealing with a powerful and malevolent force beyond their understanding or control.
