Some doors are meant to stay closed.
During a college trip, Maya and her friends discover an abandoned building hidden deep within the mountains.
What begins as a harmless adventure turns into something far more dangerous when a strange light transports them to a world that shouldn't exist.
A world filled with powers.
A world filled with secrets.
A world that seems to know more about them than they know about themselves.
But the greatest danger isn't waiting in that world.
It's waiting within their own group.
Because not everyone who enters will return the same.
And not everyone wants to go home.
