One day, Claudia receives a call from someone claiming to be her daughter Angela, asking for help. Claudia is immediately convinced that her daughter is still alive, and sets out to find her. Claudia meets up with a former police officer, Massera, who investigated Angela's disappearance five years ago. Along with a parapsychology reporter, they begin to piece together clues that suggest Angela's abduction was part of a serial killing spree.
However, as they delve deeper into the case, they begin to realize that there is a dark and sinister force at work. The group finds themselves encountering strange and otherworldly phenomena that they cannot explain. The line between reality and the supernatural becomes increasingly blurred as they race against time to find Angela and stop the killer before it's too late.
