A found-footage horror film that weaponizes the ambiguity between prank and genuine supernatural threat, building paranoia and dread through uncertainty until a deadly reveal.

Tim and his team are the rising stars of the ghost hunting game. One thing they all like better than a good haunt is a great prank. When the team arrives at a new investigation, they cannot figure if the occurrences are part of some elaborate master prank or if the house is actually haunted. Unfortunately, they don't find the answer until it is far too late.
