A supernatural horror film about six boarding school friends whose casual séance ritual turns deadly, trapping them in paranoid uncertainty about what supernatural force—if any—they've unleashed.

At an elite boarding school for girls, six friends jokingly engage in a late night ritual, calling forth the spirit of a dead former student who reportedly haunts their halls. Before morning, one of the girls is dead, leaving the others wondering what they may have awakened.
