The movie takes place in the same world as the game and follows Clover and her friends as they go into a remote valley to find out what happened to her sister Melanie a year ago. They get stuck in a scary time loop where they keep reliving the same night while being chased by different supernatural beings. Each version has a different scary story that pays homage to a different type of horror.
