A supernatural horror film centered on paranoia and psychological unraveling, where a haunted location exploits the emotional vulnerabilities of its guests.

An engaged Muslim doctor, her fiancé, and their friends go on a holiday at St. Joseph’s Guesthouse, unaware that it was the site of a sacrifice of an innocent centuries before. They soon come to believe that it's haunted and causing them to go crazy, as their emotions spiral out of control.
