Spoilers ahead

The film unfolds through the voice of an anonymous narrator who explains that the footage we are about to see is all that remains of six college students: Anna, Jonah, Genevieve “Gen,” Gavin, Misty, and Ky. They head to an abandoned plantation in rural Louisiana to shoot an extra-credit project for their film class, brushing off several warnings that the site is haunted by dangerous spirits. The mood is tense and uncertain from the start, a mix of curiosity and a growing sense of danger that hangs over the group as they press on.
