The premise

Bullying students are becoming deathly ill after screaming the name of a legendary ghost. What's to blame? An exotic illness? An illicit drug? Or is it the supernatural? The clues are few and time is running out for the students of Rogers High School. The only hope is the Veritas Project, a highly trained investigative team working undercover to expose the truth. Lives hang in the balance as they scramble to unravel the mystery and protect the student body from their own hatred and fear.

Horror Vault's take

When students at Rogers High School begin falling mysteriously ill after invoking the name of a local ghost, a covert investigative unit known as the Veritas Project goes undercover to find answers before more lives are lost. The case sits at a dangerous crossroads of science, superstition, and something that may defy rational explanation. With time running out and the student body gripped by fear, the team must dig beneath the surface of a school culture poisoned by cruelty and rumor. What starts as a hunt for a ghost may reveal something far more grounded — and far more dangerous.
