The premise

Over Thanksgiving weekend, all but five students in an old Manhattan building that's now a college dormitory leave for home: staying on one floor are roommates Lauren, Melina, and Alison, plus her boyfriend Diego and Grant, a loner in a room down the hall. Lauren's been seeing things in her bathroom: a silent child of about six. Diego has written a paper on parapsychology, so he holds a séance with the disbelieving co-eds. Something goes awry, because bad things start to happen and the students' only defender is an aging campus cop named Syd. What's the silent ghostly girl's secret, and can Alison discover what's going on before it's too late?

Horror Vault's take

A near-empty college dormitory over Thanksgiving break becomes the setting for something deeply wrong when a small group of students, intrigued by a classmate's parapsychology research, decide to hold a séance. A silent, ghostly child has already been making her presence known — and once the ritual stirs the building's secrets, a lone campus security guard may be all that stands between the survivors and whatever has been awakened. This low-budget supernatural chiller leans into confined-space dread, trading on the vulnerability of a skeleton-crew cast trapped with an escalating paranormal threat. The ghost's backstory drives the mystery forward, keeping viewers guessing about what really haunts the halls.
