About this movie

Mike, a low level drug dealer is haunted by a recent death, unable to shake his waking nightmare. Mike's business has suffered and he and his gang are in debt to a ruthless supplier. In need of quick cash, the gang plan to grow a large amount of weed to settle the debt - now all they need is a quiet place to set it up. As Mike tries to push past the visions that haunt him, the intensity of the visuals only increases as they start to encroach on his waking day. The effects on Mike don't go unnoticed as the gang start to become uneasy and questions start to arise of what Mike's true intentions are. Is Mike trying to solve the group's problem, or is he distracted by some other vendetta? Ever the leader, Mike manages to hold onto control - for now. When Mike is given the address to an unassuming abandoned house, it would appear that their business problems are solved. The house, upon inspection, is perfect for what the gang needs - and need in this moment far outweighs caution. Uncertainty still lingers within the gang, and Joe, the second-in-command who is battling his own demons, tries to put a stop to petty rivalries and push for solidarity whilst privately holding his own thoughts and apprehension about Mikes motives. When confronted by a locked door inside the house and a growing discord within the gang, old feuds start to boil to the surface. As friendships unravel, the house begins to enact its own plan, using the gang's own deepest dark thoughts against them. The once-locked door is now open, and what lies beyond has its own desires. Like lambs to the slaughter, the men are lured one by one into the room and there they are confronted by the evil world that lies within themselves. Petty rivalries become hatred, need becomes desperation. As the gang scramble to regain control, it becomes chillingly clear that they never had any. For in the background it is IT who sets the rules and it is IT that stands to gain. Fear, hatred and control.
