Spoilers ahead

A group of kids on the brink of adolescence gather together in a circle to engage in a game of spin-the-bottle. The rules are simple: whoever the bottle points to must join the spinner in a closet for a duration of seven minutes. When Charlie spins, he’s hoping for a chance with a stunning girl, but fate has other plans—a Goth girl cloaked in black is the chosen one. Inside the closet, she confesses her feelings for him, undoes his shirt, and scratches his chest, inflicting unexpected pain. Despite her advances, Charlie firmly rejects her, prompting her to hurl him out of the closet and declare in fury, “You will never find love and be in pain forever!” With that proclamation, a curse is placed upon him.
