Jasper, a young opportunistic film-maker/intern in Hollywood, seizes his chance to be a ʻrealʼ director when he presents to his boss, indie-maverick film director Max Wolfe, the free use of an old haunted house and a professional medium to run a séance. Max, currently in pre-production for a film about the same subject, steals the idea from Jasper and presents it to the cast and crew as her own. Humiliated, Jasper threatens to quit and cancel the séance unless he is allowed to shoot/direct behind the scenes with his own cameras. Max, who relies on Jasper for everything, has no choice but to go for it. The crew and actors descend upon the old mansion, an abandoned childrenʼs shelter that has been closed for 70 years, since the mysterious murder of five children in 1942 who were found scared to death. Once the séance begins, the crew finds themselves trapped inside the house and haunted by the children.
