A handsome high school basketball star is running down the court during what appears to be a critical game of the season. He’s sweating, tense and seems unsettled, but not from the pressure of winning. It’s probably due to the smoky visions coming from the bleachers. Or perhaps it’s from the incredibly crispy burnt man who stretches outward to grab Mason off the court and pull him into the surrender of his fate.  

Knowing the cause of this frightening sight, he runs to his locker to fetch a strange relic and smashes it to the ground. Fearing this image burned into his mind (yes, pun VERY intended!), and just in case the curse wasn’t broken by that destruction, Mason tries to surround himself amongst his teammates, in a safe haven. The communal shower. Unfortunately, this fiery apparition purposefully snatches Mason and turns him into charcoal, which is later “determined” to be the result of a gas leak ignited fire that claimed his life.

Hmmm…this has Final Destination vibes all over it. So, let’s continue.  

It's now 6 months later and Chrys, an angry and stubborn-looking teen, is moving in with her cousin Rel who happens to be extremely extroverted and intentional in his hyperactive ways. In other words, Chrys’ antithesis. Whatever beef may have brewed between these two in their younger years has now been laid to rest as they bond over being bullied by allowing Chrys to express her rage through kicking ass. Or rather…balls. Ouch. Chrys gets herself situated into her first day at her new school, by opening her locker exposing the very same artifact which Mason supposedly demolished before his brutal death. That terrible incident goes unnoticed without a connection to this mystically appealing piece and Chrys examines closer, pulling out a Mayan skull whistle from its container. After a teacher reviews the markings on this talisman, he dismissively substantiates that it was meant to summon the dead, shrugging off its potential worth. Or power.

Before he confiscates it to secretly turn a profit by selling it online, of course! Greed, greed, greed.  

Once Rel is able to sneak back into the classroom and snatch the object, we are invited to the next phase of this supernatural séance since the teacher’s karma returns after he blows into it as a test mechanism before posting it for the highest auction bidder. Shame…I was just starting to like that guy! Apparently, he “suffered from lung cancer”, according to the coroner’s report. Of course, we know better than that after watching a sick version of him reach out to puncture his chest bare handed and squeeze the life out of his organs. Icky.  

With this creepy antique back in the hands of Chrys and her newly made first-day chums, friend Grace decides to give it a shot, blowing into the piece which pierces the group’s ears in excruciating pain. The sound mimics a dog whistle. Yes…there is basically no sound, but this gang is now encapsuled to encounter separate and heinous fatalities which await them.  

Chrys and her crush, Ellie becomes Sherlock and Watson instantly, seeking answers and more importantly, a solution to crush this curse which they’ve unleashed. As it turns out, they have not actually summoned the dead. They have in fact, summoned THEIR death.  Ok, now that the cat’s out of the bag…how can it be saved? Or stopped? Or halted? You’ll have to watch and find out but enjoy the crazy carnage along the journey to obliterate this wicked evilness once and for all. (Sounds more serious than it is, but who wants to be killed by their future self, huh?)
