The film centers on Mia (Sophie Wilde), a 17-year-old girl struggling to cope with the second anniversary of her mother’s tragic death. Desperate for a distraction, she and her friends attend a local house party to witness the latest viral internet craze: summoning spirits using an embalmed, ceramic-covered hand. The rules of the game are simple but strict:
The Ritual: A candle is lit, you hold the hand, and you say “Talk to me” to see a ghost, followed by “I let you in” to allow it to temporarily possess your body.
The 90-Second Rule: The possession must be broken by pulling the hand away and blowing out the candle within 90 seconds. If you stay connected any longer, the spirits will try to stay permanently.
