Beneath Gallowmere Prison, something ancient waits. It has slumbered in the earth for centuries, buried beneath concrete and silence. It is patient. It is hungry. And when three paranormal streamers known as Ghostline announce a contest to take one lucky viewer on a ghosthunt inside the abandoned facility, the thing beneath wakes. Sam, Lex, and Juno live for their haunted livestreams-but none of them expect the contest winner, Shante, to be exactly as Sam saw her in a disturbing, hyper-real dream the night before.
Her arrival sends quiet ripples through the team. She is calm. Insightful. And she seems to know things she shouldn't. As the group explores the prison, their equipment fails, the signal distorts, and their audience becomes a witness to something much darker than entertainment. The prison doesn't just echo the past-it feeds on the present. Whispers crawl through the static. Shadows move behind walls that shouldn't exist.
Sam begins to unravel as dream and reality bleed into one. The ghosthunt turns into a descent-through time, memory, and the prison's hidden underbelly, where the veil is thin and names have power. Shante isn't just a viewer. She may be the key to understanding what's waking. and what it wants. But something else watches them all. And not every door should be opened.
