Initial Group Meeting

Synopsis:
Lucas Baxter is just a normal yet unfortunate guy, growing up whilst being the victim of constant bullying. After his neighbour has recently passed away, Lucas' curiosity gets the better of him after suspicious activity comes from inside the supposedly abandoned house. One night he ventures over to the house alone and hears a noise in the attic. Intrigued to find out what it was, he hesitantly heads up to the attic to investigate. Up there, he discovers a strange, creepy looking box in the centre of the dull lit room. He opens the lid revealing a bunch of photos, amongst them some of his friends, including some of the children that have been tragically killed recently. Piecing things together he realises that his friends are being hunted, including his high school sweetheart Erin Gold, and he must do all he can to save them from this unknown evil and for an unknown reason.
