Five friends travel to a remote cabin in the woods to help one of them overcome her drug addiction. In the cellar, they find a mysterious book bound in human skin and wrapped in barbed wire. Ignoring the ominous warnings inside, they read from it, unwittingly summoning a host of demonic entities that possess them one by one. They must fight for their lives and souls as the terrifying force unleashes unimaginable bloodshed and violence.
