Synopsis
Sin doesn’t disappear. It just goes offline for a while. Holy Week in Palo is supposed to be a time of reflection. But for five students from Saint Mary’s Academy, it becomes a countdown to judgment. Omar, Isabel, Gemma, Paulo, and Manuel were just chasing clout—TikToks, livestreams, memes. But when they twist an old classmate’s forgotten video project into a prank séance at her wake, something ancient and furious wakes with them. One by one, they vanish—each disappearance echoing a ritual Leah once cared about. The rosary beads she once held are now cursed breadcrumbs. And at the center of it all is a girl who died unseen… and will not be ignored again. This is not a haunting. This is a reckoning.
