Spoilers ahead

One evening a group of friends, Katie, Steve, Trish, and Sarah, gather to play with a spirit board. During the encounter Katie is possessed by a supernatural creature that has been imprisoned in the cave systems lying underneath the town of Woodland Hills, Virginia. Known as the Grim, the creature forces Katie into verbally granting it freedom. Now free to do as it pleases, the creature begins to magically travel under the town and attack various animals, as well as kidnap a random woman, Mary. His activity causes sinkholes to form, which almost all of the townspeople assume this is the result of a nearby mining company trying to expand their tunnels.
