A group of strangers, mysteriously gathered at an isolated country estate, recount chilling tales of the supernatural. First, a racer survives a brush with death only to receive terrifying premonitions from beyond the grave.
Next, a teen’s innocent game of hide-and-seek leads to an encounter with the macabre. Then a young couple purchases an antique mirror that unleashes a horrific power from its past. After, two competitive golfers play for stakes that may haunt the winner forever.
Finally, a renowned ventriloquist descends into an abyss of madness and murder when his dummy develops a mind of its own. But even after these frightening tales are told, does one final nightmare await them all?
