But as soon as they arrive at the farmhouse, strange things begin to happen. An eerie atmosphere envelops the house, and disturbing occurrences unsettle the group.

As they uncover clues hidden within the house, they come face to face with a horrifying truth. The friends realize that the house isn't just haunted by memories but by something far more sinister, and their reunion becomes a fight for survival. They must confront not only the mystery of the farmhouse but also their past mistakes-and each other.
