Synopsis:

A group of friends seeking relaxation find their getaway disrupted when a wrong turn leads them to an isolated, dilapidated hotel steeped in local legend. Whispers of a past resident – a vampire – and unsettling rumors surrounding the building's history hang heavy in the air. The setting is one of creeping unease, where faded grandeur masks a dark secret. As strange occurrences begin to plague the guests, mirroring tragic events from years prior, the group finds themselves confronting the possibility that the hotel’s ominous past isn’t confined to folklore. The story explores themes of memory, consequence, and the lingering impact of violence within a close-knit community, as the friends struggle to discern reality from chilling superstition.
