Katie drives up to a house in San Diego as her boyfriend and housemate Micah records her from the driveway using his new video camera.

The camera captures many strange occurrences at night: minor noises, flickering lights, and door movements, soon escalating into loud thuds, violent door slamming, and demonic grunts and screeches.

Micah brings home a Ouija board against Katie's wishes.
