Synopsis
Riley Brennan and her friends are paranormal investigators who disappear while exploring the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks, Ohio. The bodies of the other investigators are later found, along with one of the video tapes containing their footage. Riley and the other tape remain missing. 12 years later, a film crew is making a documentary about the murders and disappearance focusing on Riley's sister, Mia, and her efforts to locate Riley, when a strange man appears at her door with the missing tape. This plunges Mia further into her search for Riley.
