A teenager investigates the case of a missing local baby, though he discovers a dark secret that has been unleashed in his town, and an evil spirit that will stop at nothing to find its heir.

When a group of high school students dig into their town's infamous past they unwittingly unlock an Evil that corrupts and destroys them. Possessing its victims through video playback and using them for malevolent purposes, it closes in on one specific soul, threatening to expose the town's deepest, darkest secret.—John Gibbons

On 21 October 1994, the deranged Harlan Diehl kills his family in their farm and only a baby survives. In the present days, the teenager Julian Miller borrows a camera, tripod and other equipment from his friend Quinn that works in a TV studio to make an amateurish film about the infamous Harlan Diehl with his girlfriend Riley and their classmates DeeDee Baker, Nate and Brianna Baker. Quinn sells footages of DeeDee and Brianna to the sick police officer Frank Lyons in the change room in the high school. When Julian inadvertently unleashes evil through the playback of videotapes, Quinn is possessed by Harlan Diehl and begins a violent crime spree.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
