The entire duration of the plot folds within the duration of a single incident one evening. A boy has found himself in possession of a box of video tapes, being completely unaware of what truly awaits him at the bottom of it. As he sifts through the collection, a strange tape catches his attention, simply for its lack of familiarity.

The moment he plays it, the most horrifying set of events are in tow. The final product, one of limited resources, is a dedicated endeavor to share its story with the viewer. It further strives to make use of shadows and dim-lighting to bring to life a story of blood and violence.
