This film follows 17-year-old Mia, who is grappling with the second anniversary of her mother's death. She and her friends discover a dangerous party game involving an embalmed hand that allows them to temporarily communicate with and be possessed by spirits. Seeking a connection to her late mother, Mia becomes enthralled by the ritual, but a session goes horribly wrong when her friend's younger brother, Riley, is left dangerously possessed and hospitalized. Isolated and desperate, Mia is manipulated by a malevolent spirit masquerading as her mother, who convinces her that Riley must be killed to be freed from his suffering. This manipulation leads Mia down a violent path, culminating in a tragic climax where she is killed and becomes one of the spirits, forever trapped and summoned by others who play the game.
