“Some curses aren't born. They are made.”
Haunted by trauma, a psychologically unstable teenager is compelled to visit his sick grandmother with his half-sister and their friends. Being back in his childhood home, his dark past resurfaces, forcing him to confront whether the true horror lies in the island - the people from his past, or within himself.
