A claustrophobic supernatural horror that weaponizes the isolation and digital fragmentation of lockdown, building sustained dread through a Zoom séance gone catastrophically wrong.

Six friends hire a medium to hold a séance via Zoom during lockdown — but they get far more than they bargained for as things quickly go wrong. When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realise they might not survive the night.
