A supernatural horror thriller built on paranoia and urban-legend dread, where a malevolent entity hunts college students who've learned its name.

When three college students move into an old house off campus, they unwittingly unleash a supernatural entity known as The Bye Bye Man, who comes to prey upon them once they discover his name. The friends must try to save each other, all the while keeping The Bye Bye Man's existence a secret to save others from the same deadly fate.
